This training introduces an agile NPI method building on and modernising the reliable gateway review NPI method employed globally.
The New Product Introduction process is a multi-step plan that takes your product from initial idea to market. However, it is more elaborate than a to-do list. An NPI process is carefully managed by a team of stakeholders and managers who track progress and perform frequent assessments at different stages to ensure the project is moving in the right direction.
