Agile on Board or How We Do It at Intel
summary
Embedded firmware for a server power-management board moves from waterfall to Scrum and delivers working increments each sprint using prototyping on previous-generation boards, hybrid virtual platform (FPGA) to emulate missing CPU/interfaces, and paired engineers who share domain expertise. Validation runs in parallel, building a portfolio of thousands of automated tests with nightly runs, basic one-hour build checks, regression farms, and acceptance gates like 70% pass threshold on simulated hardware; unit tests cut defects and improve velocity and predictability.
