Deliverable: Product development process
What is a product development process?
In a sentence – each step required to take a product through from idea to the end customer. The proposed phased process was developed specifically for PropertyMe based on observations, interviews & discussions.
-
Phased
A stage-gate approach felt appropriate -
Documentation
The approach involved building documentation iteratively as initiatives progressed through each gate -
Collaborative
The suggested approach formalizes and enforces collaboration between teams within the business. -
Flexible
The approach allows for smaller initiatives to capture a subset of the full process as required
What the engagement looked like
Â
Our senior product consultant had 1 in person (back when it was allowed!) and 1 virtual meeting with PropertyMe ahead of the engagement. In these meetings we discussed the organization’s needs, goals of the engagement & what would be achievable in different timelines.Â
With an approach and engagement details locked in, our senior consultant began the engagement.Â
With weekly check-ins with key stakeholders on top of daily informal conversations over slack – we were able to ensure the engagement was tracking towards delivering as much value as possible in the given timeframe.
