Agile Project Development for Pharma, Biotech and Medical Devices

The Agile methodology has had a significant impact on the software development and implementation in the Pharmaceutical industry whether it is Scrum, SAFe, Kanban, Lean or any of the many other frameworks. Conventions such as Daily standup, Sprints, Release Train, Retrospective and Timeboxing are recognized within the business departments outside of IT development to a greater extent. The iterative process is recognized worldwide as a contrast to the traditional waterfall methodology with longer planning and execution phases.

While the Agile Manifesto is clear in its tenets it can be difficult to implement it due to regulatory and documentationrequirements and conventional thinking. Therefore, it is important to understand where benefits can be reaped with Agile by utilizing the positive characteristics from various frameworks. HERAX utilizes the Agile methodology in all types of projects where it adds value as it is incorporated into our Pharma Business Architecture.

Agile in Pharma works, both in digital transformation and operational evolution. It’s a testament to the power of the approach that it can succeed in such a heavily regulated and specialized industry.
