What are some alternative strategies to better identify and fix design concerns?

Some alternative strategies to better identify and fix design concerns include: maintaining a clear understanding of project requirements, which allows for better trade-offs between product performance, cost, time to market, and project risk. It's also important to focus on staffing projects with the right people, researching employees' skill sets before the project launch to ensure the project team is stellar. Constant communication with the target audience throughout the development process is also crucial. More than 80% of top performers periodically test and validate customer preferences during the development process. They also research what exactly customers want, which allows them to better identify and fix design concerns early in the process, minimizing delays.

Question was asked on:

Keep it focused – the WSJ study showed that the teams with a clear understanding of project requirements were able to make better trade-offs between product performance and cost, time to market and project risk. Top product-developers also concentrated more intensely on staffing projects with the right people: 47% of the top performers said they researched employees' skill sets before the project launch to ensure the project team was stellar. Talk to the customer – the successful innovators the WSJ studied were constantly in touch with their target audiences throughout the development process. More than 80% of the top performers said they periodically tested and validated customer preferences during the development process. They also researched what exactly customers wanted, which allowed them to better identify and fix design concerns early in the process, minimizing delays.
