Access Technologies provides quality product development and project management services…
It is most often at the development phase that new product concepts fail - simply because they are not brought to market using a proven methodology, and with appropriate experience. A recent study of product failures (Cooper and Kleinschmidt, 2001) confirms what experienced product developers already know - that proper ‘homework’ done during the product development phase nearly trebles the probability of commercial success of the product development project. This 'homework' takes the form of market surveys, user requirements capture, product specifications, cost analysis, and project planning documentation.
The antithesis of a well-designed product development project is one which revolves on an endless cycle of re-design and never ending development steps. This occurs because the engineers and technicians who have the technical skills to develop high-quality product often do not possess the specific project management and product management skills required to ensure that projects are completed in a timely and cost-effective manner. The product development process does not need to operate in this way, and can be controlled to a planned end date and a pre-determined budget.
