Developing state-of-the-art products is a considerable challenge. But to get the greatest financial rewards, technology products need to be developed on time, within budget and to specific performance and quality levels.

Researchers, engineers, programmers and technicians are scarce resources whose effectiveness directly impacts on the company's success. These technologists need precise information, clear direction and well-designed processes to make the most efficient use of their talents.

By not using proven R&D management tools and related processes, companies increase the likelihood of delays, cost overruns, and products failing to meet performance and quality requirements.
