Product Development for E-business

E-business sometimes resembles product development. Because the products are new, each new manager considers the work to be nonrecurring.

Each products then tends to have a unique product management plan based on the style of the manager. 

Manager feel autonomous since they are each being held accountable managing the work across the product development projects is a challenge, because the projects are developed individually.

How to treat nonrecurring work? The firsts step is to break it into components. Once divided into units some tasks will reassemble and become recurring.

This narrows the field of nonrecurring work.

For nonrecurring task such as the product design, aspects of the design still follow a pattern.

At the core of the firm’s project is the standardization. Nonrecurring work can be placed into a recurring structure since it is only the content and the detail that is nonrecurring.

Duration, dependencies and other tasks remain as usual.
