Product Design Development In 5 Stage Gates
In Product Lifecycle (PLC), we understood about the different life phases of product which are namely Pre-Introduction, Introduction, Growth, Maturity, Decline and Extended Growth. Success of any product lies in its successful design and development. As you may aware, design development of any product involves plenty of engineers from almost all departments of organization to work on it. This make design development huge and complex process. Question may arise here that, do we have solution for this? Answer is ‘Yes, we have solution, by systematic division, monitoring and tracking of work any major task can be accomplished. Considering this, many organisations have adapted ‘Stage Gate Process’.
Stage gate is the project management technique in which project/program is divided in different stages with management decision review/approval points called as gates. Over the years, there are many concepts of stage gate process are developed by the experts, but traditional process is ‘5 Stage gate process’.
In this 5 Stage gate process, total project (from Customer RFQ to Production release) is divided into 5 stages with 5 approval gates, those are mentioned below –
Stage-0 Discovery
Stage-1 Scoping
Stage-2 Build
Business Case
Stage-3 Development
Stage-4 Testing
& Validation
Stage-5 Launch

Further this
individual stages has many tasks under it which needs to be completed by
different departments on schedule timelines. Above mentioned is the traditional 5 stage
gate process, however every organisation has their own terminologies for each
stage gate.So, that's about 5 Stage Gates process.
