What is Outsourced product development (OPD):

Relying upon software vendors is quite obsolete. Outsourced product development (OPD) is the new concept where companies launch the best software/ apps product or service in the market as quicker as possible. It is the outsourcing of some particular or all the works related to both development and maintenance of the product or service. OPD allows product companies to take advantage of product creation expertise and global talent groups available with OPD providers.

The successful launch of product development relies heavily on careful planning, effective communication and clear cut characterization. Those elements get more and more vital if the company wants to develop its products outside the scope of their organization. Requirements of product, requirements of project and requirements of design are the three key areas of analysis must be realized with a well thought out process and Success of new product development entirely depends on these factors.

Requirements of the Product:

This usually begins with customer or marketing requirements and then goes through the regulatory and engineering process of the system to comprehensively define the appearance, usability and performance of the product once it is complete. However, this process is iterative because trade-offs are made between the features and benefits, as well as the overhead costs of security, regulation, and implementation required to implement these features.

Requirements of the Project:

The project requirement is an extremely important process of product development project analysis. At this stage of the analysis, development plans are formulated, tools are selected, standards are established, and communication methods are defined, which helps members of the development team clearly understand their roles and responsibilities. Clarity at this stage allows the development team to focus on the technical challenges. Specifically, the project requirements process outlines a clear development plan that takes into account and documents the interface points, tools, and risks and defines how the information flows, how the system will be used and the obstacles overcome.

Definition of design transfer:

The definition of design transfer comes at the last step to ensure the successful of outsourced product development. At this stage, the structure and content of the design products, as well as the process by which these products will be delivered, are identified and documented. The optimal end result of this process is a sender who fully understands the formats, templates and best practices expected by the recipient and a recipient who knows what outputs will be sent, in what format and in what time frame to expect them.
