New product development engineers promote agile development and adaptive prototyping as methods to manage unpredictable engineering development.

However, some project managers reject the business challenges, risks and uncertainties of the adaptive development environment.

Adaptive Product Management (APM) bridges the gap between unpredictable, adaptive technology development and predictive, practical product management techniques.

The fundamental APM tasks are:

• coordinate
• quick-draw innovation
• collaborate to innovate
• enable flexible growth options
• and encourage an APM culture

These bring value to both product development and project management.

The technical merits and management challenges of using adaptive development in today’s customer-centric business environment are discussed. APM forces a product development paradigm shift from execution of known constraints to learning of unknown product potential.

A “pull” development strategy creates a lean, value-add product development cycle. APM uses time-phased product demands to map development. APM implementation strategies, best practices and performance control warnings are outlined.

Participants will learn how to effectively deploy APM in their organizations and new technology development applications.
