From Preliminary Ideas to Corroborated Product Definitions: Managing the Front End of New Product Development Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

Frontend actions largely help determine the results of new product development processes, since it's here that businesses set them in motion, give them direction, and create new thoughts. We show that the front end could be understood as including three core tasks: notion/ concept development, thought/theory alignment, and thought /concept legitimization, which enable companies to create corroborated product definitions.
