Frequently asked questions about product development plans

What is new product development (NPD)?

New product development describes the complete process of transforming an idea into a final offering for customers. It often refers to developing a brand new product but is also relevant when improving an existing one.

Why do you need a product development plan?

A product development plan is essential for successfully building and launching offerings that customers love. It helps you to be confident that your work supports the broader company and product goals — so everyone on the team understands the impact of their work and how it will address customer needs.

How do you write a product development plan?

Product teams are typically responsible for creating a product development plan with input from leadership. The plan is an overview of what the team will work on, why it matters, and when each phase of work will be completed. This is where a product development plan template can be useful — helping you capture the product strategy, the releases and features you will build, and when you will deliver new functionality to customers.

What are the stages in the product development process?

Companies approach the product development process in various ways depending on the industry, size of the team, and the offering itself. But most organizations typically move through seven stages of product development:

1. Strategize: Define goals and initiatives.

2. Ideate: Brainstorm and capture promising ideas.

3. Plan: Refine ideas based on strategic goals, estimated product value, and team capacity.

4. Showcase: Share roadmaps and go-to-market plans with stakeholders.

5. Build: Deliver new functionality via agile development.

6. Launch: Bring those exciting new capabilities to market.

7. Analyze: Assess realized product value by tracking customer usage and love.
