Organizations typically define product development in terms of sales or profit growth and ROI. But this rigid view may lead to missed opportunities. Instead, you should define and measure drivers and development milestones that affect the new product pipeline— critical to performance management. Ideally, Product Development should combine many cross-functional requirements, balance risk, learn from failures and then generate a pipeline of timely new products.
