The earliest stages of conceptualizing a potential software application or website are critical.
Important decisions must be made for the project that are difficult and expensive to reverse at later stages.
Initiating a product development effort should at least involve:
Brainstorming possibilities, establishing a vision, and setting long-term goals and targets
Identifying project stakeholders' core needs and expectations
Researching the market and competition
Generating an initial statement of project/product scope
Planning key differentiators and creating a positioning statement
Deciding on a project methodology (e.g., a variation of RUP, or an agile approach)
Planning the integration of User-Centered Design techniques in all stages of the project
Detailed project planning, resourcing, scheduling, and estimation
Initial considerations of technical architecture concerns
Economic and technical viability analysis
Designing a product line strategy
Planning for change and uncertainty
