Design Driven Development®
In today’s world of product development, there are many things to consider when trying to successfully take a product to market, the least of which is not the development process itself. But according to Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Global Marketing, over 80% of new product development efforts crash and burn. Perhaps it’s time to let Design take the wheel.
“Most product companies do not have a holistic view of Design or its practices, and therefore miss out on the opportunity to use it throughout the process and as a driver to keep the process on track. A good design team, however, will possess the necessary skills and talents to drive this holistic process.”
What Is Design Driven Development®?
Design Driven Development® is a unique and proven approach to the product development process. Every development project needs a champion—someone who is in charge of moving the project forward to a successful completion. Historically, this has been either a Chief Product Officer or Product Development Manager. But at Kablooe, we believe a Design Manager is the correct fit to be that leader.
What many product developers don’t realize is, when designers are tasked only with making things look better, they are pigeonholed as artists and left with an extremely small part of the process in which to work. This is usually undertaken too late in the process as well, keeping designers from contributing in other, more valuable ways. Our D³ Process—the core of our product design services—changes all that, turning an aspect of development that was a mere afterthought into the driving force of the project.
From Our D³ Process® to Your 3D Product
The Design Driven Development® Process consists of 7 distinct, cross-functional, and design-led phases. Each phase culminates in what we call a “phase gate,” where crucial go or no-go decisions are made to determine if your team is ready to move on to the next phase of product development.
