The Boulder iQ Approach

 

 

Understand customer needs

Gaining a deep understanding of user needs at the beginning of the development process – starting with early drafting of instructions for use – results in time and cost savings, and the chance to introduce innovative products in advance of the competition. 

 

 

Know the difference between wants and needs

Boulder iQ helps clients prioritize early in the process. Users walk through how they will implement the product, and developers gain perspective and details about how their device will achieve key goals – all before expending substantial time and money in development. 

 

 

Move beyond phase-gate project management 

Traditional QMS policy dictates that significant work on given phases of product development begin only when the requirements of the previous phase have been met. By taking a fluid approach that eliminates the strict “gates,” Boulder iQ can reduce time to market 10-60%.  

 

 

Think smart

By changing the order of selected steps in the development process, Boulder iQ helps clients maintain laser focus on the end result instead of each phase. Thinking smart never skips a step. Instead, it speeds time to market within a controlled process.
