No matter how well the product has been designed on paper or through any of the designing tools available
. Its originality and quality both depends on the development cycle. The various development stages that are involved in creation of a product are termed as Product Development. The product development bridges the gap between the designers and the consumers.
A good design is just not enough to gain appreciation until and unless it is developed and presented in the form of a product or commodity. The designing cycle helps in analyzing the technological requirements of the product before the final model is generated. The essence of product designing lies in its simplicity. The designing cycle involves generation of charts, logical diagrams and many things. A well developed product is the outcome of simple, good and defined product design.
The main objective behind product development is to build a safe and reliable product that should fulfill the purpose of its creation. The product development is far above than just defining the shape and appearance of a product. The development team while working on the product also needs to focus on the problems that would be faced while manufacturing it. The manufacturing cost is also calculated by the development team.
The designing cycle of the product provides the most complex technologies in its simplest form. To implement that technology considering all the possible complexities lies in the development phase. The development team decides what step the designing module should be followed so that the manufacturing concept should not be over flowed in a product. The development team also needs to ensure that the product should offer more benefits than the sustaining and upcoming competitors and also maintains the comfort level for the consumers to use it.
The new product development requires the full study of its design and skills to implement the design freeze at the right time if needed. Then, testing the adapted protype and preparing a formal documentation is done. On the basis of this documentation the list of the resources and staff required is finalised.
And as I stated above that simplicity is the essence of product designing. A well developed product is the outcome of a defined product designing. At last, coming to the end of this article I would like to state that product development phase has been the main reason behind the success or the failure of the product. The more defined this phase will be, the better will be product.
