When your development team all lives under one roof, innovation, communication, and cost effective decisions can be made that will get your product to the market faster.
What happens when a key supplier drops the ball? What steps can be taken to be most prepared?
From looking at products as engineers, to looking at products through a customer's perspective. Creating a Use Case can help in finding answers to questions you didn’t once have.
Launching a product can sound as easy as creating an idea and bringing it to life, but do you have the passion, time, and resources to stick with it?
Finally, your prototype is finished! Now to figure out if the product is even worth the time it will take to produce it….
It’s easy to become so immersed into a product where you just can’t stop designing it. Sometimes a good step back will help realign where the finish line really is.
After my experience at a smaller firm like Glassboard, I have a better appreciation for the benefits, limitations, and general differences between large and small companies.
Starting with just an idea and making it a reality can be daunting, but can also be an interesting and fun process.
Just like in racing, we need to have a plan and layout factors that could affect it. When the flag drops, execution starts.
At Glassboard, we utilize simulation early and often in the development cycle to ensure our customers’ end products are the best they can be.
With too many features, the entire process — from idea to production — can take much, much longer.
