Scrum seems to work well for hardware projects, particularly during the early stages when we’re still not quite sure yet what the product should be exactly. My previous company did Scrum for hardware projects, but I never personally saw one. My current company just became a sister to a company that does Scrum for hardware too. It worked well enough for them to be noticed and acquired by a larger entity. I got to work with them a bit recently, but we took more of a Kanban/Lean approach. Everything went great really. I mean, everything is a little slower when you have to find, evaluate, purchase, and ship hardware, but that shouldn’t be a surprise when you have to move physical things around instead of just pushing electrons about.
