Product Development
Have a new product or even an exisiting product you want to bring to market? Let me help by using my customized Product Development Assesment tools.
Product Development Assessment (PDA) methodology is used benchmark and assess your organization’s development process against 260 best practices for product development. This assessment serves as a benchmark and identifies the highest impact opportunities for further improvement. This overall methodology is described in Benchmarking Best Practices to Improve Product Development. The assessment would typically take one to three weeks depending upon the organization’s size and the complexity of the development process. Prior to conducting the assessment, I would review your organization chart and any other descriptive material you provide and discuss your product development environment by phone. Based on this, I would typically conduct four to ten days of interviews, walk-through’s, and process reviews. Twenty-eight product development dimensions are addressed:
