Adaptive Project Management and
Hardware Product Development Consulting
Are you trying to solve a a problem that might not be possible, so the idea of a Gantt chart just seems like a waste of time?
Are your tech leads spending time building project plans with no training or support?
Are top down schedules, that no one ever thought were possible, behind from day one?
Are you in too much of a hurry to do risk analysis and build project plans?
Do you have a product idea and you'd like a technical person with experience in product development to review it?
Then maybe Fiat Veritas can help.
Founder and CEO, Andy Silber, PhD
After completing a PhD in Physics at MIT and several research fellowships I decided to reinvent myself as an Engineer without an Adjective working at several small companies developing medical devices and industrial equipment. I realized that most of these companies were in greater need of organizational and process support than an additional engineer, so I evolved into a project and program manager.
Across my career I've worked on medical devices, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment. I've dealt with all aspects of the process of bringing products to market:
- Requirements creation and management
- Mechanical, electrical, firmware, and software design
- Human Factors, UX, UI
- Regulatory (FDA, FCC)
- Manufacturing, both launch and process/yield improvement
- Testing, Validation, Verification
- Marketing
- Documentation
Let's talk and see if my experience can help solve your problems.
Adaptive Project Management
After receiving my Project Management Professional (PMP) certification in 2009 and studying Agile project management, I realized that neither Waterfall nor Agile was fit-for-purpose for the kind of projects I was managing. In 2015 I began blogging on my approach, which I called Adaptive Project Management. This approach uses waterfall tools like mapping dependencies and determining your critical path, but doing this with an agile mindset, like managing priorities with the product owner and updates to the plan based on lessons learned. Many of these blog posts are published in my book Adaptive Project Management: Leading Complex and Uncertain Projects.
In 2023 I released a video explaining the fundamentals of Adaptive Project Management
