Product Development Product development is the process of: designing Building Operating maintaining a good or service Not just manufacturing a technology, but creating a product that people will want to buy and continue to use. It adds: Pricing Marketing Customer Support Without a Product Management philosophy and discipline, IT organization becomes focused on the technology instead of the customers

Product development is the process of:

designing

Building

Operating

maintaining a good or service

Not just manufacturing a technology, but creating a product that people will want to buy and continue to use. It adds:

Pricing

Marketing

Customer Support

Without a Product Management philosophy and discipline, IT organization becomes focused on the technology instead of the customers

Product Life Cycle The product life cycle consists of three phases: Develop the product Operate the product Decommission the product Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Development Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning

The product life cycle consists of three phases:

Develop the product

Operate the product

Decommission the product

Product Initiation Phase: Submits a request for a new service or modification to an existing service. Received and prioritized by the Program Management Office (PMO). Requests are reviewed by various management If approved, the request is given necessary funding and resources Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Development Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning Product Initiation

Submits a request for a new service or modification to an existing service.

Received and prioritized by the Program Management Office (PMO).

Requests are reviewed by various management

If approved, the request is given necessary funding and resources

Feasibility Phase: Idea is explored in more depth Evaluate: Evaluated at the engineering and product management level. Evaluated for technical feasibility . Outlines the general architecture of the proposed service. The Feasibility Analysis and stable Business Case are also developed during this phase. These documents summarize time and cost estimates and other investment information Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Development Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning Feasibility

Idea is explored in more depth

Evaluate:

Evaluated at the engineering and product management level.

Evaluated for technical feasibility .

Outlines the general architecture of the proposed service.

The Feasibility Analysis and stable Business Case are also developed during this phase.

These documents summarize time and cost estimates and other investment information

Design and Plan Phase: The cross-functional team documents all detail pertaining to the development of the service. Core documents: Marketing Service Description, Technical Service Description, and Design Specifications, are stabilized. Operations, QA, and Customer requirements Approved : Initial Level: signed off by the project team Final Approval: The Design & Plan Checklist is presented to the Governing Committee. Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Development Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning Design and Plan

The cross-functional team documents all detail pertaining to the development of the service.

Core documents:

Marketing Service Description, Technical Service Description, and Design Specifications, are stabilized.

Operations, QA, and Customer requirements

Approved :

Initial Level: signed off by the project team

Final Approval: The Design & Plan Checklist is presented to the Governing Committee.

Development Phase: Parameters to pass through decision gate: Actual engineering of the service is completed Code Complete Documentation Complete Ready for Testing Phase from a System Integration Test perspective Test Environment Complete Vendor Requirements met Integration Testing & Results Complete Approval by Project Team & the Governing Committee Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Development Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning Development

Parameters to pass through decision gate:

Actual engineering of the service is completed

Code Complete

Documentation Complete

Ready for Testing Phase from a System Integration Test perspective

Test Environment Complete

Vendor Requirements met

Integration Testing & Results Complete

Approval by Project Team & the Governing Committee

Testing Phase: Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Design and Plan Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning Testing

Product Launch Phase: Flash demo and deploying it on the company website Deployment of the new or modified service at customer end. Initiation of support processes to maintain the service. A predetermined un-launch process will be executed, If the service is found to be unsuccessful Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Development Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning Launch

Flash demo and deploying it on the company website

Deployment of the new or modified service at customer end.

Initiation of support processes to maintain the service.

A predetermined un-launch process will be executed, If the service is found to be unsuccessful

Operation Phase: Longest Phase Manage the product Track problems and bugs, and respond to customer issues RASM (Reliability, Availability, Security and Manageability) Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Development Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning Operation

Longest Phase

Manage the product

Track problems and bugs, and respond to customer issues

RASM (Reliability, Availability, Security and Manageability)

Decommissioning Phase: End of the product life cycle Decommissioning can be ignored May lead to larger problems Product is phased out from the Market Example Windows 98 Example AVG 7 is being decommissioned on 1 April 2009 Extending the life cycle of Product Product Initiation Feasibility Design and Plan Development Testing Launch Operation Decommissioning Decommissioning

End of the product life cycle

Decommissioning can be ignored

May lead to larger problems

Product is phased out from the Market

Example Windows 98

Example AVG 7 is being decommissioned on 1 April 2009
