Design product concept

Purpose

The design of the product concept forms the basis for realization of the product.

Basic idea

In the product concept, the product is described with its components and structure, possibly also with its relation to business processes. As needed, different product options can be described and evaluated.

HERMES-specific

The product concept is based directly on the solution requirements, any organizational requirements, and the study. In the product concept, the requirements and the description of the solution option selected in the study are fleshed out in the form of a specification. The product concept is designed in such detail in terms of content and planning that it forms a reliable basis for the realization (development or adaptation) of the product.

The product concept forms the basis for acceptance of the product over the further course of the project.
