To manage this lengthy undertaking, engaging and informative visuals can help. In fact, with a little visual communication, you can ensure your team is heading in the right direction, and that you&#8217;re promoting your product effectively upon its launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when should you employ visuals? And what are the steps in the product development process, anyway? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog, I&#8217;ll walk you through a six-step new product development process, as well as some <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Venngage templates<\/a> that can help your company succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/solutions\/product-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"btn-cta\"><b>START CREATING FOR FREE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc\"><strong>Click to jump ahead:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#what\">What is product development?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#is\">What is the new product development process?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#are\">What are the 4 stages of the product life cycle?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#common\">What are common product development strategies?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#product\">Product roadmap examples<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#flyer\">Product flyer examples<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#FAQs\">New product development FAQs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what\"><strong>What is product development?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Product development is the process of conceptualizing, planning, designing and creating the products a company sells to its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what defines a product? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goods or services a business sells are their products. In some cases, they&#8217;re physical products like consumer goods. Think: smartphone manufacturer. In other cases, the products in question aren&#8217;t the types of things you can hold in your hands. Think: app development software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both examples, the end result is a smartphone that runs apps \u2014 but the companies in question make very different products. Regardless, these companies will have gone through a similar product development process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note product development is just one step in the product lifecycle. While it&#8217;s fair to say development is the first stage of this lifecycle, it&#8217;s hardly the last. I&#8217;ll go into more detail on the product lifecycle a little later on. But first, let&#8217;s talk process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Already have your new product?

And it would be hard to know how much it&#8217;ll cost to make a new product without the operations, design and manufacturing or engineering teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <a href=\"#faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">many schools of thought<\/a> on how to approach product development (and even business in general \u2014 more on that later).

Remember when Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone to the world? <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/first-iphone-2007.png\" alt=\"product development process\" class=\"wp-image-61723\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/first-iphone-2007.png 830w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/first-iphone-2007-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/first-iphone-2007-768x555.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/first-iphone-2007-730x528.png 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>(Speaking of which, if you&#8217;re an Apple fan, you might be interested in this <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/iphone-infographic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone evolution infographic<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here I have ideas and research listed as separate steps \u2014 but the reality is they will most likely happen at the same time. Research may even come first, because part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/maze.co\/guides\/ux-research\/process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research process<\/a> in NPD requires you to identify and understand the problem this new product will solve or the market gap it will fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During this phase, your team will begin the physical work of creating this new product or service offering. This may involve creating multiple prototypes or iterations, and in some cases, partnering with external experts through <a href=\"https:\/\/helpware.com\/tech\/services\/staff-augmentation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IT staff augmentation services<\/a> to bring in specialized skills needed for specific development stages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Testing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is when you put your new product or service offering through its paces. It can happen internally or externally \u2014 or ideally, both. Have your internal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.productmarketingalliance.com\/what-is-product-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">product teams<\/a> test it, and offer it to focus groups of customers or potential customers for them to try out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using internal and <a href=\"https:\/\/marker.io\/blog\/user-acceptance-testing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">external feedback<\/a>, make improvements if needed. For example, your focus groups may complain about pricing; if so, go back to your market research and production costs and determine if you price your product fairly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Launch<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And now, after a lot of blood, sweat and (actual) tears, here it comes: the big, final step \u2014 the product launch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tenor.com\/view\/the-office-omg-its-happening-michael-scott-gif-14004128\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/the-office-omg.gif\" alt=\"product development process\" class=\"wp-image-61700\" width=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When introducing your product to the market, make sure you consider both the short- and the long-term needs of launch-based marketing. After all, you want this product to continue being successful for years to come. But technology moves fast: if you don&#8217;t react fast enough, sooner than later, your new product will be old hat. Also, if you want to launch your new product fast, you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcgen.com\/product-development-consulting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">consult with a product development expert<\/a>&nbsp;who can guide you throughout the process from ideation to product launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"#toc\">Return to Table of Contents<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"are\"><strong>What are the 4 stages of the product life cycle?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve touched on this a bit already, but developing a new product is just one stage of the product life cycle. Just as a baby doesn&#8217;t stay young forever, your company&#8217;s brand-new offerings will age. Here are the four <a href=\"https:\/\/theproductmanager.com\/tools\/plm-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stages of the product life cycle<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Introduction:<\/strong> This is essentially the final step in the NPD cycle \u2014 launch. During this phase, the product is introduced to the market for the first time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Growth: <\/strong>If successful, during the growth phase, a product begins to gain steam in the market. In other words, people are buying it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maturity: <\/strong>Depending on the product, this stage can last a few months or even years. A product that reaches maturity is one that is quite popular to the point of market saturation. While that&#8217;s good news on one hand (your product has been popular for long enough to become saturated), it also means that profit margins tend to shrink and more effort is required to maintain or grow market share. Established products like Coca-Cola have remained in the maturity phase for decades.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decline:<\/strong> Just about every product will eventually see demand for its decline. As consumer behavior changes, such as through new technologies, most products will become less necessary. When was the last time you thought about needing to buy a DVD player? Or remember Blockbuster and its failed battle against Netflix?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"#toc\">Return to Table of Contents<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"common\"><strong>What are common product development strategies?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like the new product development process, there are many schools of thought when it comes to the best way to introduce and develop new products in an efficient and sustainable way. These approaches are often categorized under <a href=\"https:\/\/railsware.com\/blog\/product-frameworks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">product development frameworks<\/a>, which provide structured methods to guide companies through the creation of new products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a comprehensive list, but here&#8217;s a look at the most popular strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IDEO approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Design and consulting firm IDEO uses a six-phase product design process: observation, ideation, rapid prototyping, user feedback, iteration and implementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IDEO&#8217;s approach is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ideo.com\/case-study\/creating-the-first-usable-mouse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tried and true<\/a>: The company developed the first computer mouse for Apple back in the 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo-of-Apple-first-mouse.jpg\" alt=\"product development process\" class=\"wp-image-61713\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo-of-Apple-first-mouse.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo-of-Apple-first-mouse-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo-of-Apple-first-mouse-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2022\/09\/photo-of-Apple-first-mouse-730x486.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BAH model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Booz, Allen and Hamilton (BAH) model was introduced in 1982, and it remains one of the most widely used and comprehensive. Its seven steps are new product strategy, idea generation, screening and evaluation, business analysis, development, testing and commercialization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stage-gate model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage-gate.com\/discovery-to-launch-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stage-gate model<\/a> uses a process in which stages or phases of NPD are punctuated by a go\/no-go decision. Those stages are discovery, scope, business case, develop, test\/validate and launch. After each stage, the company decides whether to continue investing in the product, essentially serving a gate-keeping or quality control function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lean Startup approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed in part as a reaction to the stage-gate model, the <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2013\/05\/why-the-lean-start-up-changes-everything\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lean startup movement<\/a> focuses on fluid product iteration rather than regimented stages and steps. In product development, that means companies focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intelivita.com\/blog\/how-much-mvp-development-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creating a minimum viable product (MVP)<\/a> during an ongoing product development process that involves a constant state of planning and analysis, design and development, and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exploratory product development model<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploratory product development, or ExPD, is one of the most recent NPD models to emerge and gain steam. Introduced in 2015, ExPD can be an innovative alternative to traditional product development processes.
