Product Development Methodologies for Success!
On
About
the Talk
Electrical
Engineers can increase their ability to innovate, plan, and develop new
products that succeed in the marketplace by increasing their knowledge of the
corporate and market environments that they work in.
Product
development methodologies enable engineers to successfully achieve their goals
through appropriate planning of all phases of a project. “Product development methodologies for
Success!” will empower you to:
·
Position yourself to be innovative by planning
continuing ed on current technologies, standards, and practices to fuel
creative thinking.
·
Position your company for success by using
your creative potential to plan new products that address customer needs well.
·
Improve product quality by addressing customer
needs and expectations.
·
Succeed at producing quality products on time
by following a structured methodology to break the execution phase down into
steps.
·
Increase peer interaction to have fun and
learn from others through formal and informal peer discussion and review.
In
addition to learning structured methodology concepts, creative engineering
professionals will gain perspectives on how businesses decide what design
projects to develop and assign to engineering staff. In “Project Methodologies for Success!” you
will learn:
·
The roles of sales and marketing in
identifying markets, potential customers, and possible new products that will
meet customer needs if offered.
·
The role of business planners in evaluating
the engineering portfolio of a company to decide which products proposed by
engineers and marketing managers to recommend to upper level management.
·
Role of project managers to schedule and track
how an organization prepares, designs, tests, and introduces a product to
manufacture.
·
The role of engineers to position themselves
to be innovative and to produce quality products on time.
