This process group covers turning an agreed concept into something that can actually be built and delivered. It spans design and prototyping, including resourcing the project, building the business case and technical assessment, writing design and user experience specifications, recording them, running internal and external reviews, and designing with manufacturing, servicing, re-manufacturing and future upgrades in mind. Prototypes and proofs of concept are built and tested, the production or delivery process is tried out, quality and reliability problems are cleared, performance indicators are chosen, and suppliers and partners collaborate on the design. Market testing follows, with a market study, customer tests and interviews, and finalised characteristics, business cases and technical requirements. The group closes with preparation for production or service delivery, covering capability, material and equipment needs, requests to change manufacturing or delivery processes, installation and validation of the delivery process with early production runs watched closely, and validation of the launch steps.
