Eight stages from idea to a product that keeps improving
Each stage has a clear output. Not every customer needs all eight stages at once.
- Stage 1
Discovery and Opportunity Analysis
Clarify the business problem, the customer, the goal, the risks, and the size of the opportunity before anything is designed.
- Stage 2
Business Case and Validation
Test whether the product makes commercial sense: who pays, what they use today, and how revenue could work.
- Stage 3
Product Blueprint
Define what will be built and how it fits together, so development starts from an agreed plan rather than guesswork.
- Stage 4
Prototype or Proof of Concept
Build a focused prototype or proof of concept to test the riskiest assumptions with real screens or working logic.
- Stage 5
MVP Development
Build the first commercially usable version: the smallest product a real customer can use and pay for.
- Stage 6
Commercialization
Add what a product needs to earn revenue and support customers.
- Stage 7
Launch
Move the product into production with the operational basics in place.
- Stage 8
Continuous Improvement
Keep improving the product after launch based on usage, feedback, and business goals.
