Core Concepts of Innovative Product Development
Project
A temporary endeavor to create a unique product or service.
Focused on “temporary” and “unique” outcomes.
Product
A quantifiable artifact, often software or a system.
This module emphasizes innovative product creation.
Value
The worth perceived by various stakeholders.
Project outcomes must deliver tangible value.
TIPProjects are part of a larger “System for Value Delivery.”
This includes programs, portfolios, and operations.
Project Management Principles
- Focus on Value: Project success is defined by value delivery.
- Collaborative Team: Fosters a strong team environment.
- Tailor to Context: Adapt approaches to fit each project.
- Embrace Adaptability: Be resilient to change.
Project Performance Domains
- Stakeholders
- Team
- Development Approach
- Planning
- Project Work
- Delivery
- Measurement
- Uncertainty
These 8 domains are interacting and interdependent.
They form the structure of this module.
Principles guide behavior, and performance domains cover practical areas.
Part A Preparation
Your journey to a successful Part A project proposal begins with careful planning in Phase 1: Initial Preparation.
Determine Project Topic
Choose an innovative and feasible project idea from the provided list, or propose your own original concept.
Ensure it aligns with the module’s focus on product development.
Discuss with Peers & Mentors
While Part A is an individual assignment, engaging in discussions with classmates and mentors can provide valuable inspiration and fresh perspectives for your project idea.
TIPThis initial phase is critical and should take place 2–3 weeks before the submission deadline to allow ample time for refinement.
