Modern Challenges of Hybrid R&D Teams in Manufacturing
Summary
These teams drive economic growth by producing strategies, designs, process improvements and products that bring value to both consumers and companies—as well as create competitive advantages for manufacturers. While a strict waterfall plan is often ideal at the outset of a project to provide a predictable path to a quality product, R&D team members solving specific challenges within that plan— such as evaluating new materials to reduce friction or add durability—will likely find an iterative agile approach more useful. Typically, research and development teams in the manufacturing industry rely on outdated tools such as Excel spreadsheets, emails and instant messaging to collaborate and keep track of projects. Collaborating at the task level through tools such as kanban boards and Gantt charts let team members see data and assignments in one place without being overwhelmed with too many details that don’t involve them.
