The Exploratory Product Development® (ExPD) User Guide is scheduled to be published in the Summer of 2019. Many companies today utilize some form of a traditional phased-and-gated product development process, which originated more than 50 years ago. It hasn't changed substantially since then. Over time, only incremental improvements have been made to these traditional processes, but despite continual evolution, they are not keeping pace with the needs of today's fast-moving, globalized world.
ExPD is taking the traditional approach to task on developing products. ExPD is an adaptable product development process that is based on reducing the most impactful product uncertainties and risks, versus the prescribed activities you find in a traditional process. Ultimately, ExPD helps companies keep pace and adapt to today's fast-changing world.
Strategy 2 Market is a product development consulting firm that specializes in helping companies improve their product development processes.
