This course discusses how companies create new products that customers want while achieving their financial objectives. Learners begin by defining the product strategies necessary to ensure a company’s long-term growth. Learners then explore the different product development processes used by high-tech businesses today, such as Stage-Gate and Lean/Agile techniques. Learners conclude by illustrating the tools to build the high-performance teams that take the development process from concept through product launch.

Excellent course work with an engaging instructor. If you are in middle management with responsibilities into product-mix / portfolio decision making, this is the one to take . My biggest objection is the Peer-review assignments, which simply don't work; uploads can take weeks to be reviewed by a fellow student...
