History[edit] Phased scope development and investment decision is a fundamental concept of chemical engineering and engineering economics, particularly since the 1940s as chemical complexity and scale of chemical processes grew. One source describes 8 phases in the development of a chemical product starting with research, economic study, scale-up (pilot plant) and design leading to full funds authorization.[1] In 1958, the American Association of Cost Engineers created four standard cost estimate type classifications to match these development and approval phases.[2] Other industries with complex products and projects picked up on the process.
For example, NASA practiced the concept of phased development in the 1960s with its phased project planning or what is often called phased review process. The phased review process was intended to break up the development of any project into a series of phases that could be individually reviewed in sequence. Phases[edit] Gates[edit] The Stage-Gate Product Innovation Process. Can an organization dramatically improve the quality, speed, and profitability of their new product projects while driving down the risk of failure? Absolutely. And we know how top performing companies master this critical practice. The Stage-Gate® idea-to-launch model is the industry standard for managing new product innovation excellence.
The ground-breaking, widely-implemented process expertly integrates numerous performance-driving practices into an easy-to-understand recipe for success. Its robust design engages users of all decision-levels and functions, enabling quality execution, timely Go/Kill decisions, alignment and speed. The result: superior products reaching markets faster and generating better profits. Product innovation experts and creators of the Stage-Gate model, Robert Cooper and Scott Edgett, provide an introductory overview.
