3. Unique - New undertaking, unfamiliar groundUnique Temporary Characteristics of Projects
4.
5. Project Success Customer Requirements satisfied/exceeded Completed within allocated time frame Accepted by the customer Completed within allocated budget
6. Project Failure Scope Creep Poor Requirements Gathering Lack of resources Unrealistic planning and scheduling
8. Project Concept Phase It consists - - thought processes - discussions - activities It allows us to describe precisely and concisely what it is we intend to do, and then noting down
9.
10. Project Concept Statement Essentials - statement of goals - project schedule - resource constraints A project concept statement is always short and to the point .
11. Project Concept Statement Reality Check Essentials - real world consideration - setting priorities - controlling events - decision making Pressing Ahead transition from one project phase to next marking a milestone
12. Product Requirements Document Showcases broad outline of the project Product –project focus , resulting deliverable Project Leaders and Project Champions - describe their mental picture of the product or service intended to produce Description – subject to refinement and outright change
13. Project Authorization Companion to product requirements document Includes a concise description of the resources and an estimate of the time likely to be required to undertake and complete the Discovery Phase.
14. Project Discovery Phase Analyze the key issues related to product feasibility Viability in the marketplace Analysis Matrix - aids in balancing the twin goals of low cost and small size - presents the percentage contribution thereby highlighting the important contributors
15.
16. Project Team Center of approach Responsible for management plays an important part in the execution of the entire project from concept to introduction. Team Composition depends on – - nature of the project - makeup of the sponsoring organization - time phase of the undertaking
17. Project Team Team of five or six people is responsible for guiding the project and making sure that the needs of their respective constituencies are put forward and responded to appropriately Head of team – project leader
30. Feasibility Study The objective of the feasibility study is to answer the question: - Is it possible to successfully complete this project ? - Is it possible to use the current state of technology - Is the goal achievable given the skills and the resources that are available
31. Establishing Feasibility in the marketplace according to the needs of the real world in which the product must compete The best—perhaps the only—way in which this can be done is to be there to talk to, interact with, and respond to potential customers for the planned product.
32. Focus Group Structured technique Represents a specific customer population and whose discussion is focused on a well-defined question Objective - to secure customer feedback and enhance marketability
33.
34. Project Proposal helps move a project from the Discovery Phase to the Implementation Phase Info required – - Product Concept The product concept is fleshed out beyond the few sentences suggested earlier in the development process. Still the concept is short and to the point.

41. Product Functional Specs Statement of requirements Identification of list of deliverables Initial buildup Eventual acceptance
42. Project Implementation Phase Most time consuming and costly phase of the project Need to produce appropriate and disciplined analysis as per documentation Groundwork of the concept and discovery phase
43. Initial Moments - customer gains the critical first impression - exposure - self directing operating session - product packaging and documentation
44. The First Day - approach to dealing with the first day with a new and reasonably complex product is an extension of the methodology and techniques outlined for the first moments - focus customer interaction with the product and on deeper understanding as the product is activated and exercised - Initial success with the product quickly overcomes frustration and fear, and encourages the customer to go forward with the learning process
45. Remainder of the Product’s Life - natural focus for a development team is day-in day-out use of the product - the first moments, the first day and the rest of the customer’s life with a new product form a continuum - The things done to improve the customer’s first moments and first day yield benefits throughout the use of the product
46. Verification Phase takes place after the preparation of the Product Proposal and the Functional specifications, the Product Test Plan ought to be prepared simultaneously Early Considerations of the test plan can shed light on the product requirements
47. Product Test Plan The product test plan must be prepared simultaneously with the Product Development Plan because it will be necessary to design in the features that will assure that the unit will satisfy the test criteria
48. Test Plan Outline - CE Mark certification : This involves a safety review and test, designated IEC-1010-1, and a RFI radiation and susceptibility test, designated IEC-1010-2. When the unit has met the criteria required by this certification review and testing, the CE Mark label may be applied .
49. - Test to produce design requirements > component analysis > fuse rating > power on-off > cycling > line voltage sag, surge, dropout > drop test in shipping container > thermal profile > accelerated life test - Test to application requirements
50. - Maintainability > serviceability analysis > product performance and verification > establishment of depot > simulation of procedure - Documentation > review manual, support, advertising literature for claims, > asses patent status
51. Beta Testing - involves the exercise and evaluation of a complete product working in the operating system environment - direct interaction with customer - includes customer evaluation and input - difficult procedure but worthwhile
52. Project Management Tools PERT Chart- designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project Gantt Chart - popular type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule
53. Conclusion Project management and product development though a hectic procedure , but is a must for a systematic and hassle free process . Simplifies the work load Puts the manager, leader and his team on the right track Better customer relations
