The path from a budding idea to a tangible product is a journey fraught with challenges, uncertainties, and, of course, incredible rewards. For the aspiring entrepreneurs looking to bring their vision to life, understanding the ins and outs of the product development process can be a game changer. In KD Tech, we break this journey into 2 phases with 5 comprehensive steps.
Let’s delve deep into each phase!
PHASE #1
STEP #1 : Characterization
Discover Needs:
At this stage, the sky is the limit. Every feature, functionality, or design aspect the entrepreneur envisions for the product is laid out.
Define Problem:
From broad to narrow by identifying and prioritizing, we distill the grand vision into a precise problem statement. The result of this step is a well defined document that serves as a beacon for the subsequent steps.
STEP #2 : Concept
Theoretical Research:
Here, we morph challenges into solutions. Diverse technologies and strategies are brainstormed, each having its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
Define Solution:
The mission is to find the most feasible ones and pick the best that align with the client’s goals, budget, and timeline.

STEP #3 : Development
Practical Research:
Time for a POC (Proof Of Concept). Now, the selected solution is transformed into a quick prototype to test its viability in the real world. If it fails, it’s back to the drawing board. If it passes, we move on to the real development.
Development:
The MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the basic version of the product, built for testing and gathering feedback. Iterative processes refine and improve the MVP, gradually molding it into a polished prototype, ready for the next phase.

PHASE #2
STEP #4 : Pre-production
Fine Tuning:
Every aspect, be it software, hardware, or design, is scrutinized and enhanced. This is also the stage where we factor in cost effective strategies for mass production.
Development:
With a perfect prototype in hand, the focus shifts to preparing for mass production. From developing programming and testing jig to planning the device’s intricate wiring architecture, every detail is meticulously planned.

STEP #5 : Mass-production
Preparation:
A comprehensive assembly guide is designed, suppliers and manufacturers are roped in, and a dedicated project folder capturing every detail of the product’s journey is created.
Execution:
Finally, the stage is set. Now, all you need to do is decide the quantity and set the production in motion. It’s like magic, just more scientific!
