Defining Company Product Management Framework

By Thomas Green


Product managers have created, built, and introduced new products based on their ideas. They do marketing to existing customers. They also have strategies in place to gain the attraction of new and potential customers. Hence, product management framework is used in order for their products to successfully enter the market sector.

The framework is essentially a step by step guide that was modified to suit and to adapt in the company environment, respectively. It is integrated in their product management in order to have a product life cycle that is theirs. They like to plan, forecast, and market the cycle in all its stages, from introduction, maturity, growth, and declination.

Product management basically has three stages. Innovating, designing, and implementing ideas into products are the said stages. Their product manager and the team under him have to complete a stage before moving on to the next one.

Thanks to the experience and capabilities of their product development team, they are now able to complete the development of the product until its market launch. It is their responsibility to see all stages through. They invested hard work to make it successful and be added to the line of quality products they have.

Innovation has to be done first. An idea that is feasible has to form first that can integrate well and contribute to the market. Options have to be explored to maximize potentiality. They also need to ensure that they can achieve a working condition for it. Product specifications, usage, and details need to be outlined as well.

They spent their time in conducting research. This does not only involve the product, but also the activities in the market, consumer buying power, and competitors. They need to have the knowledge in order to determine what product is mostly needed or can potentially be needed. The said knowledge can also help them develop a product strategy where product goals, overview, and timeline are outlined.

Next, designing is where they immerse on which ingredients or parts are needed. Here, they are able to experiment which ones goes well with another, and which are going to make the solution potent or the equipment running. All these will help define the whole product as it goes in to the succeeding stage.

Building the product is the last stage here. The things they found from the designing stage will be used for the final product. Its efficiency and effectiveness are tested numerous times in order to ensure that it meets the quality standards. When it does, the other departments can now prepare for the product launching. They are going to implement marketing strategies as the product begins its life cycle.

The other departments help due to the communication extended by their product team. This effective communication was the reason why upper management had their product roadmap approved. Their approval lets them execute the plans with the help of the departments of purchasing, logistics, marketing, and sales. Later, after the product launch, the development team will review the feedbacks and market data thoroughly. What will be read in there will be applied to the succeeding developments and improvements.
