Product Development |
| Product Development is the term used to "describe the comprehensive process of
bringing a new product or service to market". Flexible Product Development is the
ability to make changes in the product being developed or in how it is developed, even
relatively late in development, without being too disruptive. Consequently, the later one
can make changes, the more flexible the process is, and the less disruptive the change is,
the greater the flexibility. Flexibility is important because the development of a new
product naturally involves change from what came before it. Change can be expected in what
the customer wants and how the customer might use the product, in how competitors might
respond, and in the new technologies being applied in the product or in its manufacturing
process. |

|
| Flexible product development counteracts the tendencies of many contemporary management
approaches to plan a project completely at its outset and discourage change thereafter.
These include
Six Sigma,
which aims to drive variation out of a process;
lean,
which acts to drive out waste; and traditional project management and phased development
systems, which encourage upfront planning and following the plan. Although these
methodologies
have strengths, their side effect is encouraging rigidity in a process that needs
flexibility to be effective, especially for truly innovative products. |
| For more mature product categories, flexibility techniques are not only overly expensive
but often unwise. Consequently, flexibility techniques must be used with discretion, for
instance, only in those portions of a product which are likely to undergo changes. When
applied to the development of software products, these methods are commonly known as
agile software development.
However,
agile
software methods
generally rely on special
characteristics of the software medium, especially object technologies, which are not
available to non-software products. Consequently, flexible product development draws from
some of the roots of
agile software development
but tends to use other
tools
and
approaches
that apply beyond the software medium. |
| Flexible development uses several
techniques
to keep the cost of change low and to make decisions at the last responsible moment. These
techniques include modular architectures to encapsulate change, experimentation and iteration
to sample results and check them out with the customer frequently, set-based design to build
and maintain options, and emergent processes that develop during a project in response to its
needs. |
