Cultural Fit & Trust

You’re taking a big risk developing a new product, and the project is likely to span 6-12+ months. You need a partner that you get along well with and that you trust to give you honest answers. Cultural fit might not seem like n obvious crtieria but actually can make a huge difference to how the project runs.

Experience and Skills

An experienced product designer or engineer is trained on how to develop a new product from concept to manufacture. Newly qualified designers are unlikely to have the experience of the whole process that you need. Look for a portfolio showing a range of products now in production and check the experience of the actual designer you will be working with.

Project Management

Managing your product development, budget, and timeline can be a full-time job. Especially if there are multiple companies involved in developing a product that requires electronics and an app for example. Project managers use processes to minimise risk during development and are tech-savvy enough to communicate clearly with both the design team and you. However, you might prefer to deal directly with your designers and avoid the risk of Chinese whispers.
