Developing a new product takes skill, hard work and determination. Along with that you will need to come up with a strategy and develop a plan that will implement all areas of the new product development process.

Once the product is built, the team will go thru the phase of solving the complex issues and coming up with ideas to make it effective (Grewal, M., 2012).

Meaning, you do not want to spend thousands of dollars creating, implementing and marketing a product and the product fails. If this happens, you will have spent a lot of money which could lead you to financial problems. Eaglin Enterprises will have a system that requires the idea to meet specific criteria. The third step is to development of the product. Next we will have come up with the final outline of the appliance. Within the outline we have mapped the criteria for continual
