| Abstract: | Applying project management disciplines to new product development projects is challenging, given the unpredictability inherent in the creative process. By using statistical design of experiments within the context of the scientific method, a project team can readily apply project management disciplines to new product development. Discoveries made during project execution may invalidate certain assumptions that were made during project planning. These discoveries may make some aspects of the plan irrelevant or impractical. Having a well-reasoned plan with well-articulated hypotheses and experimental protocol provides a framework for reacting to these discoveries. |
