This website was built by and is maintained by Preston Smith (now retired) for the benefit of his many former clients and students. For 25 years, he was pioneer first in the rapid product development field (coauthor of the classic, Developing Products in Half the Time), and more recently in flexible development, which grew out of agile software development. So flexible development could also be called agile hardware development.
