Abstract Overview: Many companies now integrate agile innovation processes, including sprints, Lean startup, scrum, and design thinking, into their traditional structured gating processes. Companies have had promising results, but the popular agile within gating hybrid is not the only way to benefit from the coexistence of agile and structured processes. This article presents a conceptual framework that includes four options: agile within gating, agile before gating, agile after gating, and agile alongside gating. The framework provides an overview of different ways to combine agile and structured innovation processes. The managerial recommendations provided offer new insights into balancing different approaches to innovation management and help to bridge the diverse results of prior studies about state-of-the-art innovation methods.

结合敏捷和结构化创新流程的概念框架

摘要概述：现在，许多公司将敏捷创新流程（包括冲刺、精益创业、Scrum 和设计思维）集成到其传统的结构化门控流程中。公司已经取得了可喜的成果，但是门控混合中流行的敏捷并不是从敏捷和结构化流程的共存中受益的唯一方法。本文提出了一个概念框架，其中包括四个选项：门内敏捷、门前敏捷、门后敏捷和门边敏捷。该框架概述了结合敏捷和结构化创新流程的不同方法。所提供的管理建议为平衡不同的创新管理方法提供了新的见解，并有助于弥合先前关于最先进创新方法的研究的不同结果。
