Abstract
Agility in product development addresses innovation capability and market dynamics, but its application is challenging. The method developed in this research effort defines the optimal agility level, integrating agile and plan-driven elements in mechatronic systems development. It consolidates findings into an Agility Impact Model with three components: Goals, Strategies, and Success Factors. Five steps systematically guide strategic agility target level determination, enhancing productivity and project success empowering practitioners to navigate modern engineering challenges with confidence.
