Introducing the design and development process
This course aims to provide an overview of the design and development process that we use at Ctrl Group. In this first module, we look at all the major elements that you need to start planning for at the beginning of a project. Some of these are tools that you will then go on to use throughout the process.
Broadly speaking, we go through the following steps in this stage:
- Setting out your product story
- Identifying who we will work with
- Working through the Design Development Plan to plan all critical elements, from project management requirement, to study plans.
- Creating a schedule
- Assigning roles and responsibilities
- Setting up documentation such as the design history file.
The following pages aim to give you all the tools to follow this process yourself.
