19-697 Lean Product Development
12 units, Carnegie Mellon University
Students in Lean Product Development will explore a wide variety of tools and techniques for evaluating the feasibility of proposed new products, services, and solutions to business problems. They will work with an iterative process of proposing solutions structuring tests to evaluate those solutions with prototypes creating the prototype efficiently and costeffectively evaluating the effectiveness of the prototype learning from the experiment and iterating until an acceptable solution is found. There will be a strong focus on soliciting customer feedback as a basis for improvement and validation throughout the process. Students will learn prototyping techniques for addressing design, business, and technical problems. This will be a very handson course. Students will learn to use, and practice using, a diverse set of prototyping tools to complete their projects including computational, physical, visual design, and ethnographic tools. Students will also spend substantial time in the course practicing and developing their communication skills through written and oral presentations of their experimental results and recommendations.
