Product development
The development of an idea, project or in this
case, product, is one of the most important stages in its
creation. After all the investigation phase and all the
brainstorming, the concept design is done and now we face the
reality. Vague ideas are not valid any more. Once the decision
is made and the primary parameters of the product are
specified, it is time for the development stage, in which the
ideas must be clear and have a good perception of quality and
lead time.
If you take a decision lightly in this phase it may have
expensive consequences, perhaps ruin the product or even the
company. We have seen some pretty crazy examples. If, on the
contrary, you think about it, and meditate over and over it,
the development phase can become eternal and one might never
see the end of it.
You must bear in mind that when the product in development is
very important in its range, or even clash with that of its
competition, you have to be careful to not be dragged into
confrontations or over accelerating the lead time. We know
that many times the early bird gets the worm, but it isn’t
always like that. Follow your development process and keep
your competitors in sight but do not obsess with them because
that could be detrimental. Remember that if at the end your
product is not as good as your competitors’, you will be able
to study it in detail and see how you can improve future
versions. Many brands make the majority of mistakes at this
stage because of the rush, generated by excessive concerns
about the product of their competitors.
The development stage requires great concentration. If you
have the capacity to do it all in-house then you have a
certain advantage. If on the contrary you have to outsource
parts of the process you must have everything very clear, well
planned and controlled. Managing external resources well is
crucial. The more people or external companies that play a
role in the process of developing a product, the more chances
for mistakes (though if everything is well controlled and
managed, there is no reason why it should happen). Of course,
it will oblige you to be extra concentrated and have fluent
communication with the people in charge of every process.
Otherwise, at the time of putting everything in place,
surprises may arise.
This step of the whole process is of great importance, which
is why we recommend including all departments in it. Obviously
some will have more responsibility than others but they are
all important to achieve a successful result. After all, the
best way to work for a development team is just like that, as
a team. Success or failure depends on all of them.
We help you manage all the processes in the development stage.
We develop your ideas from the beginning, from the first
concept sketch or the brainstorming sessions.
We find the best partners so that outsourcing is an advantage
and not a hurdle.
We use our translation services so every document reaches its
