Fitting agile into hardware: a square peg in a round hole

So, you thought agile was the magic sauce for everything, right? Enter hardware development, where change isn't exactly welcome, and flexibility sounds like a bad joke. Hardware says, "Nah, I'm good with my long timelines and strict processes."

Trying to make agile fit here? It's like jamming a square peg into a round hole—funny in theory, frustrating in practice.

In this talk, we’ll laugh at the chaos, cringe at the failures, smile at the"what was I thinking?" moments and explore the quirky ways we've tried to make it work.

Spoiler: It’s messy, it’s awkward, but hey, sometimes that square peg just needs a little sanding down to fit in. Join me for some ironic insights and mashed solutions!
