Query: A preliminary study of agility in business and production - Cases of
  early-stage hardware startups   [Context]Advancement in technologies, popularity of small-batch manufacturing
and the recent trend of investing in hardware startups are among the factors
leading to the rise of hardware startups nowadays. It is essential for hardware
startups to be not only agile to develop their business but also efficient to
develop the right products. [Objective] We investigate how hardware startups
achieve agility when developing their products in early stages. [Methods] A
qualitative research is conducted with data from 20 hardware startups. [Result]
Preliminary results show that agile development is known to hardware
entrepreneurs, however it is adopted limitedly. We also found tactics in four
domains (1) strategy, (2) personnel, (3) artifact and (4) resource that enable
hardware startups agile in their early stage business and product development.
[Conclusions] Agile methodologies should be adopted with the consideration of
specific features of hardware development, such as up-front design and vendor
dependencies.
