How does Project Management apply to New Product development?

As discussed in Typical problems in new product development in a manufacturing environment, we have observed some patterns of challenges. Project management is all about the application of different management knowledge, skill, tools, and techniques in each phase of the projects.

Hence, the following principles of project management can be applied in new product development also.

Some of the principles are given below

1. Starting the project with END GOAL in mind
2. Involving all stakeholders at an early stage
3. Define project scope with a set of key performance indicators
4. Tracking Key Performance Indicators throughout the project phase
5. Defining the phases or steps in the project 
6. Proactive risk assessment and mitigation plan
7. Review and communication process
8. Active Change Management Practices
9. Engaging people with team/leader structure

Those principles can be applied in new product development as well.
