The 2014 study was designed to further explore the dynamics of high-performing product teams by pursuing four interconnected threads;
1. The first thread delves into demographic information, helping us understand respondent profiles, spans of responsibility, size of company and market segment served.
2. The second thread, role clarification, reveals how actively respondents are involved in product development, what role they play and to whom they report.
3. The third thread allows us to examine today’s product development processes as well as perceptions of which methods actually increase a product’s profitability.
4. In the fourth and final thread, we more deeply explore the last several years’ findings and the key factors that distinguish high performance teams from all others. This year’s questions focus on the use of industry best practices, return on investment (ROI) and its application, the product team’s relationship with the Sales and Marketing organizations and how well the product team understands and aligns its efforts to the sales cycle.
