New product development is the complete process of bringing a new product to market, including renewing existing products or introducing them to new markets, and centers heavily on product design. It requires understanding customer needs, the competitive environment and the nature of the market, with cost, time and quality as the main variables developers must balance. The process is commonly described in four phases: a fuzzy front end of concept formulation and feasibility, product design that turns requirements into specific solutions, product implementation covering detailed engineering, prototyping and validation testing, and commercialization covering production and market launch. Organizations continually refine their new product development practices to manage the uncertainty inherent in each of these stages.
