Product Development follows loose stages. I’ve outlined them below; keep in mind many of these happen in parallel.

Assumption is the new technology is post-proof of concept and pre-commercialization, that sweet spot for technologists where much of the fun “How do we productize this?” strategy becomes possible.

My favorite stage working with PhD engineers and executive teams.

*** Phase One ****

  • Commercialization Strategy

  • Definition & Development

  • Roadmaps

  • Partnerships

  • Internal Messaging & Buy-in

Optional:

  • Org Structure & Team Buildout

————————————————————

Very necessary but delegated to ops specialists to execute.

Phase Two:

  • Supply Chain

  • Legal & Certifications

  • Import / Export

  • Purchasing

  • Security

————————————————————

Phase Three:

  • Marketing (typically internal if big company; external if startup)

  • Customer Journey Mapping (very important and often overlooked)

  • Feedback Ecosystem

  • User Interface

  • Press Releases

————————————————————

At this point, all hands are on deck and it’s a dash to the finish line.

Phase Four:

  • HW & SW Enablement

  • Documentation

  • Drop-shipping

  • Improvement Integration
