The process of product development

Products from scratch, from an idea to the prototype to the on-line products, there is a process. Whether it is product, operation, development, testing and so on have their own responsibilities and work. Many companies want to their own product flow, regularization, hoping to follow a certain process to go down, think of which day which position appeared vacant, directly find a suitable person can replace. It also provides a template for future product work or project processes. Especially for small and medium-sized companies, when there is no ued, when there is no product-related processes, whether the product can be completed on time, whether the completion of high-quality, become a lot of product managers and boss worry about things.

Combined with their own product experience, at the same time in different companies experience, the product process planning is divided into 8 stages: The project stage, design phase, development phase, testing phase, on-line stage, running-in stage, Operation stage, summary stage.

1. Project Stage

Embodies the core function of Product Manager stage, for product demand determination, core function extraction. Product discussion, output MRD, and the availability of technology, business, resources, while identifying product participants, communication is a function of product managers, how to work together all the participants, how to communicate more effectively, clear their respective responsibilities. Rather than 20% of the user's needs, the product will be focused on solutions that meet the needs of 80% of users.

2. Design stage

The first task of the design phase is to confirm the product cycle, which is determined by the Product manager in conjunction with the Department personnel. Products, interaction, UI, vision, development, testing and other personnel in the design phase is more a process of integration, information integration, the purpose of the clear, at the same time for their work clear. After the product manager makes PRD, it is more communication and communication with other people, at the same time, the iteration of the document, this stage is to let all the people know the product's core and function, interactive based on the document High-fidelity prototype, the UI according to the document to find the product performance form, development know the product's core strength embodied in where, Technical problems and implementation methods, testing, in addition to understanding products for the product testing focus and difficult to master. Operation is aware of this product highlights and product characteristics, "good products are run out of", the sooner let the operation involved in the product only benefits.

3. Development phase

"工欲善其事, prerequisite." Starting with the deployment of the server, to the final Code archive iteration, will be a developer-led phase, as well as a determination of the product development cycle. Product Manager more help to develop understanding of product features, testing needs to cooperate with the development of unit testing, stress testing. Operations are more in line with the availability of content data.

4. Testing phase

When the product was first reviewed, the next work was given to the test, black box, white box test, and a tricycle product test. The first round of testing found product bugs, the second round of tests revolved around bugs, and optimized, and after the third round of testing the product was categorized as a more stable version. In the three-wheeled test, testers need to keep the communication and collaboration, and technology, products, UI, etc., this is a running-in process, but also the quality control process.

5, on-line stage

This is also the beta phase, which is also the stage to open the product market. But before the on-line need to the product code, the system interface monitoring, the system maintenance plan, the data clean and so on, the on-line appraisal stage needs to go through the market, the product, the operation, the development, the test and so on on-line to make the overall appraisal before the official on-line operation. At the same time, after the on-line tracking, log analysis, server monitoring and so on, at the same time from the log analysis of products to make adjustments at the same time the product Operation planning table.

6. Running-in Stage

After the on-line stage of data analysis, as well as data log analysis, procedures and other adjustments, for product optimization, the user's common problems and feedback to make adjustments, this stage is more products and users of the running-in, to achieve a better user experience.

7. Operation Stage

Soft paper? Advertising？ Products on the line after the work will be launched around the user, how to allow users the first time to use products, how to let users know products, how to seize the user ... To provide excellent user experience, so that users like products, love products, inseparable from products, this is the ability to operate, but also operators of the product trust, at the same time should be certified a word "good products are operating out." To provide users with product help, software products are more product use instructions, and the Web is more FAQ, reducing the user "why."

8. Summary Stage

Learn to summarize, learn to analyze, learn to criticize, products on the line after the need to make a summary of the product stage, whether it is the product, or personnel to cooperate with each other, there is friction, there are different opinions in the product process is common, but the starting point must be around the product, suggestions, product two-period improvement and planning, This can be done as a summary of the focus of the discussion, and how to strengthen communication and collaboration, how to do a good job in product operation.

Product flow is not a constant, at the same time for different products, there will be different requirements. This process is also applicable to the project, for many companies do not have ued and other organizations, how to efficiently and quickly make products or complete projects, reduce unnecessary work, become the basis of process simplification and specifications. 8 stages of relevant personnel have a relevant focus, perhaps there are different personnel involved, such as the market, such as boss, any process may be affected, this time need is to cooperate, need is collaboration. Successful products will encounter a lot of difficulties and obstacles, but believe that their products are only to meet the needs of 80% of users of the solution, do not think 100% of the pressure, no one will pay for the 100%.
