reduce product development uncertainty

The most effective way to reduce development uncertainty is making the right decisions concerning which products your company are going to develop. The next most important is assembling the right team and supplying them with the best input possible.

the most important step

Knowing beforehand which product idea will be successful and which won't is one of the riskiest parts of new product development. It is one of the first and most important decisions facing the development team. The wrong choice can be a very costly affair. Not only valuable resources are lost but time to market is wasted. Your competitors will be granted the chance of winning market share with a potentially inferior product.

information from the right source

Allocating time and resources to help make the right decision is money well spent. If you are in constant dialog with your potential buyers then this isn't necessarily a time consuming task. You can gain valuable input about  the validity of your product idea by involving potential users in testing and commenting quick iterations and prototyping of the design and the product experience.  While creating this feedback loop will help management to make decisions about which product ideas should be developed, it will also be valuable tool for the design and development team in all subsequent phases of development.
