Product and Service Innovation Management
Evaluate your ability to write a product plan for a new product. The new product can be any of the following:
- A new to the world product or service
- A new product line (new to the business)
- A new addition to an existing product line (line additions)
- An improvement and/or revision of an existing product or service.
This assessment task is to be undertaken in pairs, where you assume the role of new product managers who were given the task of developing a new product for a business. This business must be real, NOT fictional.
Each team is required to prepare a new product plan for ONE product or service item. Whilst you may do this within the context of an existing product or service or with the intention of launching later formats, it is essential that for the purpose of this assessment task only ONE product or service item is chosen.
