Why emphasize concept generation early in the process

ldquoThorough exploration of alternatives early in the development process greatly reduces the likelihood that the team will stumble upon a superior concept late in the development process or that a competitor will introduce a product with dramatically better performance than the product under developmentrdquo pg 99

Concept generation answers the question of ldquohowrdquo the team will satisfy the customer needs as expressed in the functional specifications

Why emphasize concept generation early in the process

ldquoThorough exploration of alternatives early in the development process greatly reduces the likelihood that the team will stumble upon a superior concept late in the development process or that a competitor will introduce a product with dramatically better performance than the product under developmentrdquo pg 99

Why emphasize concept generation early in the process

ldquoThorough exploration of alternatives early in the development process greatly reduces the likelihood that the team will stumble upon a superior concept late in the development process or that a competitor will introduce a product with dramatically better performance than the product under developmentrdquo pg 99

Concept generation answers the question of ldquohowrdquo the team will satisfy the customer needs as expressed in the functional specifications

Why emphasize concept generation early in the process

ldquoThorough exploration of alternatives early in the development process greatly reduces the likelihood that the team will stumble upon a superior concept late in the development process or that a competitor will introduce a product with dramatically better performance than the product under developmentrdquo pg 99

Concept generation answers the question of ldquohowrdquo the team will satisfy the customer needs as expressed in the functional specifications

ldquoFor every complex problem there is a simple easy-to-understand wrong answerrdquo

bull Use your personal and team knowledge and creativity to generate solution concepts

bull Some guidelines for generating concepts Suspend judgment Donrsquot be quick to jump to conclusions Generate a lot of ideas Donrsquot spend time evaluating ideas just capture

them Welcome ldquoout of the boxrdquo ideas Donrsquot worry about feasibility during the

initial brainstorming Use graphical and visual methods to capture ideas Quick drawings and

sketches are great Infeasible ideas are welcome Use graphical and physical media Make analogies Wish and wonder Use related stimuli Set quantitative goals Trade ideas in a group
