Reducing Product Development Time

Updated: Apr 27, 2021

💥 Reducing the product development time is one of the most serious problems of any company that develops a product. 😎


⏰ So what are the biggest sources of waste in product development? Let's take a look at the waste (muda) that agile methods also aim to eliminate as part of lean.


🗑 To produce engineering outputs that will not work in the next step, whose system compatibility has not been checked, and whose manufacturability is not sure,

🗑 Waiting for reviews, decisions, permissions, parts, meetings,

🗑 Carrying out engineering outputs and information constantly, creating gaps and loss of information,

🗑 To stop and go, to work with interruptions, to do insufficient work from scratch, to do work steps with incompetent people, to try to create new parts unnecessarily, to complicate the architecture instead of simplifying it, to increase engineering risks, to produce useless solutions that go beyond standard production processes,

🗑 To produce information that will not be needed, to keep the required information in the queue in the next step and to lose time again to correct errors when it comes to, locking the next processes that will be triggered by the information needed,

🗑 To make superficial reviews that do not work, to produce new ones instead of existing solutions, and to create waste by making corrective changes over and over again to deliver engineering solutions,


✅ As you plan your project, you have time schedules that seem to run smoothly, sometimes take years, and seem to be shortened by a magic stick. Of course, shortening the product development time does not happen by ordering that a project ending in X months will end in Y months. There are serious sources of waste that prevent projects from keeping up with the schedule and that you are not aware of. If you want to save time, first you need to spend effort to get rid of your waste. Even for the wasteful resources you need to destroy, in some cases, you may need to spend years, undergo serious training to strengthen your development team, make your employees a company shareholder to win sectoral competition, demolish and rebuild organizations to bring corporate culture to a mindset that avoids waste.


🧩 If product development teams can make a dedicated challenge to the waste resources listed above, they can see that they can significantly shorten their product development time. All leading product based companies that have achieved global success, gain a significant part of their competitive power thanks to their advantages in product development time. 🏆🎯


🧠 How do you manage waste of time in your projects, how do you reduce your product development time? 🤔
