But 20 years ago, Joe Justice and a small team were already designing, building, testing, and selling a new car every week. If that was possible 20 years ago, why do established companies still take years today to make significantly smaller changes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe Justice is the founder of WikiSpeed, previously worked at Tesla, and now consults for companies such as Toyota, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz. This interview focused on the fundamental question behind Agile Hardware: What really stands in the way of speed in physical product development?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I've been preaching the short answer here for years: It's not the individual steps that are slow; it's the overall workflow\u2014with its queues, handoffs, and lengthy decision-making processes\u2014that slows us down, because it was designed for a different era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ARG04YQirFM?feature=oembed\" title=\"Why Hardware Doesn&#039;t Have to Be Slow: A Conversation with Joe Justice\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\"  frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The WikiSpeed Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.abi-agile.com\/joe-justice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joe Justice<\/a> WikiSpeed began in 2006 with a simple idea. He wanted to build a car using agile methods. What started as a single project grew into a network of 4,000 participants in 23 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The work schedule was intense: On Thursday morning, a new vehicle design was created in CAD. Afterward, a machine cut the full-scale exterior mold out of foam. On Thursday evening, the mold was laminated with carbon fiber. By Friday, the vehicle was on display at auto shows, where the team gathered direct feedback from potential customers. Tests followed on Monday, including at government testing labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interesting aspect for systems engineering lies in the cadence. WikiSpeed treated a car as a product that could be developed in short iterations\u2014as a standard way of working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe explains that government testing doesn't necessarily have to cost millions. WikiSpeed booked testing appointments directly with the labs. According to him, an appointment for emissions testing cost about $200. The team scheduled recurring appointments, took advantage of open slots, and avoided using expensive middlemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regulation is often seen as an obstacle, but Wikispeed proves that there is another way and that regulation can be integrated into the weekly routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-systems-engineering-trends wp-block-embed-systems-engineering-trends\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"YVQK2K50EF\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/en\/extreme-manufacturing\/\">Extreme Manufacturing: How to design, build and sell a roadworthy car in seven days<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/extreme-manufacturing\/embed\/#?secret=BGph4ccRlB#?secret=YVQK2K50EF\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&quot;Extreme Manufacturing: How to design, build and sell a roadworthy car in seven days&quot; - Systems Engineering Trends\"  data-secret=\"YVQK2K50EF\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-product-velocity wp-block-embed-product-velocity\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"unzKYcAIgd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/productvelocity.org\/de\/case-studies\/wikispeed\/interface-documents\/\">Build cars in one-week sprints using one-page interface documents<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/productvelocity.org\/de\/case-studies\/wikispeed\/interface-documents\/embed\/#?secret=UVOgD3SGcd#?secret=unzKYcAIgd\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201eDeveloping Cars in One-Week Sprints Using One-Page Interface Documents\u201c \u2013 Product Velocity\"  data-secret=\"unzKYcAIgd\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The material won't wait<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many objections to Agile Hardware start with the material. Metal can't be deployed, plastic can't be compiled, and a headlight isn't a microservice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe challenges this intuition. Modern tools can cut metal to size in minutes, and 3D printing and other technologies quickly and automatically translate designs into parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Software development has been grappling with this problem for decades. Teams wait for decisions; decisions wait for meetings; meetings wait for calendar slots. Contracts wait to be reviewed. Suppliers wait in their own queues. Different time zones exacerbate the problem. In the end, the product comes to a standstill not because of the laws of physics, but because of the structure of organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who wants to develop, manufacture, test, and approve a headlight today needs a team that can handle the entire process. Design, construction, testing, certification, and manufacturing must all be part of a single workflow. That is precisely where the traditional organizational structure falls short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A functional organization separates CAD, purchasing, testing, quality, manufacturing, and legal affairs. This leads to handoffs and bottlenecks, which in turn increase the cost of changes. <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gesetz_von_Conway\">Conway's Law<\/a>. Read more <a href=\"#conway\">further down<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tesla and the Issue of Scaling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The classic objection to WikiSpeed is that a prototype is not the same as mass production. When Joe got the chance at Tesla to test exactly that limit, he jumped at the opportunity. During his job interview at Tesla, no one asked him about his degrees; instead, they asked technical questions about machining aluminum, suppliers, and road approval. Joe had answers because he had solved these problems in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gave rise to a pattern that emerged throughout the conversation. Rapid hardware development scales by reducing wait times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background has-large-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rapid hardware development scales by eliminating wait times.<\/p>\n<cite>Joe Justice<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A team must have the capability to solve a problem from start to finish. When a new component is developed, testing must not begin weeks later, but immediately: Tests must be conducted throughout the development process. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/en\/thomas-meenken\/\">AI<\/a> can serve as a catalyst for automating work that people previously performed manually, slowly, and on an ad hoc basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The length of a test says nothing about its quality. A long test may not be very meaningful, while a short test may be more reliable at detecting a critical error. For hardware organizations, this is also bad news. Many have confused security with duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-systems-engineering-trends wp-block-embed-systems-engineering-trends\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"6A3IOMVCMw\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/en\/thomas-meenken\/\">AI does not replace systems engineering: it shifts the work<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/thomas-meenken\/embed\/#?secret=7pECxzlQVl#?secret=6A3IOMVCMw\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cAI doesn&#039;t replace systems engineering: it shifts the work \u2014 Systems Engineering Trends\"  data-secret=\"6A3IOMVCMw\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-product-velocity wp-block-embed-product-velocity\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"0G1bbMOBXD\"><a href=\"https:\/\/productvelocity.org\/de\/case-studies\/dainese\/validation\/\">Continuous Validation of Safety-Critical Airbag Software<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/productvelocity.org\/de\/case-studies\/dainese\/validation\/embed\/#?secret=vjMzyTveAM#?secret=0G1bbMOBXD\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201eContinuous Validation of Safety-Critical Airbag Software\u201c \u2013 Product Velocity\"  data-secret=\"0G1bbMOBXD\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The European Excuse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Europe, the objection is quickly framed differently. People say that Tesla and SpaceX have billions, and that China is a totalitarian regime that operates under different conditions. A medical technology company, a machinery manufacturer, or a supplier couldn\u2019t operate that way. Joe interprets this objection differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background has-large-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone says, \u201eThat won\u2019t work here,\u201c it often means, \u201eI\u2019m not allowed to change that.\u201c<\/p>\n<cite>Joe Justice<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A buyer can optimize the purchasing process, but cannot overhaul the product life cycle. A department head can make his or her role more efficient, but cannot change the company\u2019s decision-making structure. There are many such examples: Employees are allowed to optimize at the local level, but not <strong>Conway Drift<\/strong> compensate for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This reverses cause and effect: The organization calls it \u201eour industry is different.\u201c What they mean is: The necessary changes are beyond their own authority. Many companies are still organized by function:  Purchasing here. Software there. R&amp;D there. Manufacturing over there. Quality next to it. This structure is easy to manage as long as the product development cycle is slow and predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This model fails when it comes to complex products. Today, vehicles, medical devices, machinery, and aerospace systems consist of software, electronics, mechanics, data, operations, and service. The valuable functions arise at the interfaces. That is exactly where the silos are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-formal-mind-gmbh wp-block-embed-formal-mind-gmbh\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"8lMLpYjMfJ\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.formalmind.com\/de\/blog\/china-speed-interview-with-yuchao-luo\/\">What the German Auto Industry Can Learn from China's Push Toward Electric Vehicles: An Interview with Yuchao Luo<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.formalmind.com\/de\/blog\/china-speed-interview-with-yuchao-luo\/embed\/#?secret=8iegozlb0T#?secret=8lMLpYjMfJ\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201eWhat the German Automotive Industry Can Learn from China\u2019s EV Pace: An Interview with Yuchao Luo\u201c - Formal Mind GmbH\"  data-secret=\"8lMLpYjMfJ\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-systems-engineering-trends wp-block-embed-systems-engineering-trends\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"HImZDFKfUY\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/en\/not-the-engineers-when-the-process-model-becomes-a-bottleneck\/\">Not the engineers: when the process model becomes a bottleneck<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/nicht-die-ingenieure-wenn-das-vorgehensmodell-zum-engpass-wird\/embed\/#?secret=o2qpqkN14h#?secret=HImZDFKfUY\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cNot the Engineers: When the Process Model Becomes the Bottleneck\u201d \u2014 Systems Engineering Trends\"  data-secret=\"HImZDFKfUY\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sloan Silos and the Cost of Waiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe uses the term \"Sloan Silos\" to refer to the functional organization based on <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alfred_P._Sloan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alfred P. Sloan<\/a>. Historically, this structure has made large industrial companies manageable. It organized people according to their skills and management principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But when speed becomes more important than predictability, the Sloan silo backfires. Those closest to the work submit requests to higher-ups and wait for decisions. Every change has to pass through several areas of responsibility. This leads to long wait times, misunderstandings, and a loss of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This system runs slowly with complex products. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/en\/set-the-complexity\/\">complex products<\/a> it no longer works reliably. During our conversation, I brought up the difference between \u201ccomplicated\u201d and \u201ccomplex.\u201d A car from the 1980s was complicated. A modern vehicle is a networked system comprising software, electronics, sensors, energy, the cloud, and regulation. It does not respond to changes in a linear fashion. Joe agrees, but adds one point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even a complicated system slows down in Sloan Silos. Complexity robs the system of its remaining tolerance.<\/p>\n<cite>Joe Justice<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is particularly evident in outsourcing. When an OEM can no longer manage complex systems in-house, key functions are transferred to suppliers. The supplier becomes more efficient, but with its own expertise. The OEM acquires capability in the short term but loses design control in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That's the point at which speed becomes a strategic factor. Whoever outsources the fast parts of the product is outsourcing the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-systems-engineering-trends wp-block-embed-systems-engineering-trends\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"V9ZbGGj6zI\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/en\/set-the-complexity\/\">Capturing complexity: The 1st law of systems engineering<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/gesetzt-der-komplexitaet\/embed\/#?secret=l9OP3WE0fM#?secret=V9ZbGGj6zI\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cCapturing complexity: The 1st Law of Systems Engineering\u201d - Systems Engineering Trends\"  data-secret=\"V9ZbGGj6zI\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-systems-engineering-trends wp-block-embed-systems-engineering-trends\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"bKu8CpQEhu\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/en\/when-complexity-in-engineering-tips\/\">When Complexity Tips: Tim Weilkiens on the Digital Storm in Engineering<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.se-trends.de\/wenn-komplexitaet-im-engineering-kippt\/embed\/#?secret=MqHDXI3JM5#?secret=bKu8CpQEhu\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cWhen Complexity Tips: Tim Weilkiens on the Digital Storm in Engineering\u201d \u2014 Systems Engineering Trends\"  data-secret=\"bKu8CpQEhu\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Architecture That Doesn't Wait<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation then turned to product architecture. Joe prefers to use the term \u201cmodule\u201d rather than \u201cplatform\u201d in this context, since \u201cplatform\u201d can mean too many different things in a business setting\u2014ranging from a technical foundation to a modular system to a business model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe has a more precise way of putting it: a design that doesn't wait. A module is well-structured when it feels like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.formalmind.com\/blog\/black-box-specifications\/\">Black Box<\/a> can be modified without requiring changes to other modules. With Wikispeed, for example, the team was able to change the powertrain without touching the seats, chassis, or interior. A module has stable interfaces and minimizes dependencies. This is not just architectural aesthetics, but <a href=\"https:\/\/productvelocity.org\/de\/principle\/flow-architecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Architecture for Flow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many platform programs fail in this regard: They build large shared structures but create new dependencies on waiting times. When the <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Noise_Vibration_Harshness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NVH Performance<\/a> Since a platform depends on the wheelbase, battery weight, tires, body style, and target costs, everything is interdependent. So even though it\u2019s called a platform, it behaves like a monolithic approval system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A good platform provides abstraction. The smartphone is the best everyday example. An app uses the camera, location, network, storage, security, and sensors without having to redesign a physical device from scratch every time. The platform encapsulates hardware capabilities. It provides security mechanisms, an installation model, and interfaces. The app developer focuses on the app\u2019s functionality, not on the electrical integration of the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same goal applies to vehicles. The platform must provide enough stability to allow for the rapid creation of variants. It must not centralize development to the point where every change has to be approved by a committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-formal-mind-gmbh wp-block-embed-formal-mind-gmbh\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"MyzTM1H7fj\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.formalmind.com\/de\/blog\/black-box-specifications\/\">3 ways to write black box specifications<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/www.formalmind.com\/de\/blog\/black-box-specifications\/embed\/#?secret=w2LEMimD3z#?secret=MyzTM1H7fj\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201e3 ways to write black box specifications\u201c - Formal Mind GmbH\"  data-secret=\"MyzTM1H7fj\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-product-velocity wp-block-embed-product-velocity\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"MxfbrcJiyT\"><a href=\"https:\/\/productvelocity.org\/case-studies\/byd\/flow-architecture\/\">Flow Architecture Accelerates Development<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/productvelocity.org\/case-studies\/byd\/flow-architecture\/embed\/#?secret=dQBESrNME6#?secret=MxfbrcJiyT\" class=\"wp-embedded-content lazyload\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cFlow Architecture Accelerates Development - Product Velocity\"  data-secret=\"MxfbrcJiyT\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In three weeks: Conway\u2019s Law, Modules, and Experiments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one-hour interview is packed with an enormous amount of knowledge\u2014so much, in fact, that it\u2019s too much to cover in a single article.
