Globalized markets, short technology and product life cycles cause uncertainty and volatility in product development projects. If the project team does not consider those, budget overruns and deadline shifts will be inevitable in general. These effects intensify especially when it comes to complex technical systems because based on their complexity and number of inherent dependencies they are even for experts hard to overlook. As one component changes (e.g. new insights concerning the system’s behavior requires revisions of design assumptions), it will create far-ranging consequences on components that seemed irrelevant at first. Conventional project management tends to predict uncertainty and volatility at the project beginning. This is why the project team profoundly analyses i.a. the market needs and the technical feasibility. The project plan finally manifests the results of this phase and suggests that the project can be successful when every project team member sticks to the plan. This, however, is a momentous misinterpretation in uncertain and volatile development contexts since future changes are not entirely predictable by heuristics or forecasting methods, not to mention avoidable or hedge-able. Agile developing, which stems from software development and diffuses gradually to other domains, bases upon a different paradigm: On the one hand, changes are considered unpredictable and, on the other hand, do not per se harm the project. In contrast, they can open up new options and opportunities to secure a competitive advantage. By designing prototypes in highly frequent cycles (1 – 4 weeks) that are tangible and experience-able for the customer, the development team learns continuously through the customer feedback which product aspects should be improved in order to be attractive to the customer, economically viable and technically feasible. Caused by the constraints of physicality (e.g. costs and time effort to build prototypes) the adaption of agile approaches to physical product development is not trivial. That is why the project goal is the investigation of how the agile approach is applicable in physical product development (non-software industries), which adaptions are required and which kinds of prototypes (paper prototypes, laboratory set-up etc.) are appropriate for agile physical product development. For that purpose, the project follows the grounded theory research approach and uses the lead user method to identify and learn via case studies from users of agile methods being ahead of the bulk.

全球化市场，短技术和产品生命周期在产品开发项目中导致不确定性和波动性。如果项目团队不考虑这些，那么总体上将不可避免地预算超支和截止日期转移。这些效果会加剧，尤其是在复杂的技术系统方面加剧，因为基于它们的复杂性和固有依赖性数量，它们甚至对专家而言很难忽视。随着一个组件的变化（例如，关于系统行为的新见解需要修订设计假设），它将对一开始似乎无关紧要的组件产生远距离的后果。传统的项目管理倾向于预测项目开始的不确定性和波动性。这就是为什么项目团队深入分析I.A.市场需求和技术可行性。项目计划最终表现出了此阶段的结果，并表明当每个项目团队成员坚持计划时，项目都可以成功。但是，这是在不确定和挥发性的发展环境中的重要失误，因为未来的变化并不完全可以通过启发式方法或预测方法来预测，更不用说可避免的或可避免的对冲。敏捷开发，从软件开发中植物并逐渐扩散到其他领域，基于不同的范式：一方面，变化被认为是不可预测的，另一方面，不可预测，并不损害该项目。对比，他们可以开放新的选择和机会来确保竞争优势。通过在高度频繁的周期（1 - 4周）中设计原型，这些原型对客户来说是有形且可经验的，开发团队通过客户反馈不断地学习哪些产品方面应该得到改善，以便对客户有吸引力，在经济上可行且在技术上可行。由身体的限制（例如，构建原型的成本和时间努力）引起的敏捷方法适应物理产品开发并不是微不足道的。这就是为什么项目目标是敏捷方法如何适用于物理产品开发（非软件工业）的投资，需要适应哪些原型（纸张原型，实验室设置等）适合敏捷物理产品开发。为此，该项目遵循扎根的理论研究方法，并使用主要用户方法通过案例研究来识别和学习，从敏捷方法的用户中识别出大量的范围。
