Implementing Agile in an FDA-Regulated Environment
The Agile approach is well established in other industries adoption of Agile in medical device development has been increasing in the past five years. Experience is showing that both quality and safety are improved when the development team is agile, and that regulatory requirements can still be met. This session will delve into several key areas for applying Agile in the medical device context, including:

Agile for Medical Devices: More than Just Software
Trying to understand the "Agile method" as just another software development lifecycle, with specific rules and a fixed outline, is mistaken, and seriously limits the benefits that Agile can bring. Successful Agile implementations include development, operations and business functions right from the outset. Anything less just creates another process island and cross function friction. All functions must participate actively throughout development, since development is recognized to require learning and adapting (and market needs can change rapidly).

Medical Device Software - Competitiveness, Compliance, and Quality
Medical device entrepreneurs often struggle with the classic triangle of cost, quality, and time to market,traditional, document-centered approaches are slow, expensive, and frequently error-prone. Some look to Agile development as the way out, but many are still skeptical that Agile teams can develop rapidly and still be compliant. This presentation will:
