Reflection – Learning Launch for product validation 

 Challenge 

 I am a member of product validation department of my organization and our challenge is to perform   product validation and provide design guidance to improve the product performance . The development   process broadly includes , market survey and benchmarking , target setting , proto development , product   validation and release of product into market . This scope includes close working and coordination with   various internal team such as marketing team for capturing customer requirements , design team for   generating in innovative ideas for design . The product must be launched in a stipulated time frame to take   advantage of the market demand . We will focus on the way we are capturing the benchmarking and   customer perception data to have right targets for design of new products and follow improved   assessment techniques for product validation . 

 Selection 

 We want to use the learning launch tool in order to effectively capture the product requirements and   inputs from benchmark products . We wanted to use new tools in capturing the data , setting of the targets   for design , and new methods to assess / validate our new product . This would help to have product with   better performance as expected by customer . 

 Application 

 For our first learning launch , we focused on the way we captured the customer requirements which are   important inputs to product development . Apart from having objective survey we introduced subjective   assessment to capture the customer inputs . We wanted to see the how the customer felt the benchmark   product subjectively as the objective data was helping us only half way through . We introduced the   subjective assessment charts which captured more information as the product was assessed by jury of   customers and experts . This data gave us a new insight . We had formed a team of experts and had 3day   workshop on the benchmark product assessment . Later the benchmark product was tested for objective   data . The combination of subjective and objective data helped greatly in setting the right targets to our   new product . Our team also gained training knowledge through these expert reviews . We were able to   set a new target / guideline for design of the product through this exercise . 

 For our second learning launch , we focused on priority product validation tasks . We had separate review/   workshops with design team and explained about how to use our new design guidelines to improve the   product design so that the product meets the validation requirements first time right . We also improved   the way the product validation is performed by new validation procedures which included prioritization   of tests . All the validation activities were performed with in the stipulated time frame and new product   was ready to be launched . Prior to launch we showcased the product to the experts and jury which had   members from different departments and customers . Through this subjective assessment it was found   that the product performance was meeting all the customer expectations . Later the new product was   launched , and we could capture the expected market demand at right time as targeted . 

 Insight 

 By applying the learning launch tool , we tested traditional assumptions of objective data and limited   validation tools . With the new learnings gained by subjective assessment and new validation techniques   we were able to improve our overall product development process which will be used in every new   product development . Additionally , we could gain knowledge in product assessment and perception of   different experts on product . In this process there was also improvement in the inter department   coordination and team building as well . With prioritization of validation activities , we could reduce the   overall product validation time there by reducing the time to market of the product . The incorporation of   insight is particularly important at this stage , as this will be used for innovative design thinking of future   products . 

 Approach 

 We had selected this learning launch tool as this is more appropriate for our design validation process at   this product development timeline . As mentioned earlier the knowledge gained with this insight will be   used for our future product development activities and improve further . This will also be used to train our   new joiners .
