Session
How do small hardware teams avoid death by iteration?
This talk explores how systems engineering tools like Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM), Weighted Decision Matrix, and Tradeoff Studies can help hardware-firmware teams reduce unplanned rework, clarify interdependencies, and make better decisions faster. The talk will explore practical strategies for applying these tools from concept evaluation through firmware release planning.
