Business Analysis • A detailed business analysis is conducted to evaluate the commercial viability and financial feasibility of the proposed product. • Factors such as market demand, pricing strategy, sales projections, cost estimates, revenue forecasts, and return on investment (ROI) are analyzed to assess the potential profitability and risk of the new product Product development • Once the concept is approved, the product development phase begins, where engineers, designers, and developers work to create the final product or service. • This stage involves designing product specifications, engineering prototypes, conducting product testing and validation, refining features and functionalities, and addressing technical challenges. Market Testing (Beta Testing)
• Before full-scale launch, the product is tested
in a real-world market environment to gauge customer response, identify potential issues, and gather feedback for further refinement. • Beta testing may involve limited release to a select group of customers, pilot testing in specific markets, or soft launch to assess market acceptance and fine-tune marketing strategies.
