1. Software innovation
– principles and tools
Daniel Lux

2. • German citizen
• Computer scientist from
Groningen University
• Co-Founder of Seluxit
• Seluxit specializes in
• Smart Grid
• Smart Home
• Wireless technologies
Who am I?

3. Case: A new wireless protocol
Develop a next generation
wireless protocol
• Secure
• Robust
• Future proof
• Generic
• State of the art
Customer can only
describe how it
should not be
Customer knows it
should be better
than the current
solution
Before the project

4. Define:
• State of the art
• Minimal success
feature set
• Desired complete
feature set
Iterate:
• Communicate all
results, good and bad
• Set ambitious targets
Case: A new wireless protocol
Iteration 0
Survey
What is state of
the art now?
Improve
Set high targets
in order to
innovate
Plan
short timeline
for sense of
urgency
Offer
Fixed budget,
fixed time,
flexible scope

5. Develop:
• HW & SW in parallel
• Simulate & test
• Integrate
• Release
Iterate:
• Time boxed
• Working prototype
• Avoid
interdependencies
Case: A new wireless protocol
Iteration X
HW Plan Develop Test Integrate
SW Plan Develop Test Integrate

6. Case: A new wireless protocol
Result
From 1st idea about
project with 2 pages
of features
4800 Man hours of
work where the
specification and the
Hardware were
developed over the
period of 18 Month
• 3 international
patents filed
• Working software
stack
• Working hardware
• Protocol is now
ready for market

7. • Speed is critically important
• Divide and conquer
• Focus on high-value tasks
• Create real customer value
• Build effective teams
• Lead from the back
Strategies
that work for us

8. • Customers using stringent
development models
• Big projects with multiple
developing parties slow the
process down
Pitfalls
Where this approach reaches its limits
