Vision and Roadmap in Product Development
Overview
While nobody can deny the significant role played by technology in our lives today, one needs to be wary in focusing only on Technology and ignoring the rest. Technology is verily what IT and Software development organisations like us thrive on. However, technology should be seen as an ‘enabler’ and a means but not the end. All products that have been invented or innovated so far, did not succeed merely based on the technologies used to build them. They help achieve the business objectives to their users-from the Potter’s Wheel to Radio, from Mainframes to Laptops, from ERPs to Web Applications and from Java to the Multi-Touch Interface. What drives the success of these products is the vision and the roadmap that pave the way forward. To learn and explore how they play a vital role in the successful technology product development, enrol in the Vision and Roadmap in Product Development course now!
