· Develop an infographic for the new product development process, and
· Identify the steps you would go through to complete the development process for your new product
Identify the steps in the new product development process and evaluate the challenges.

B. In addition to the infographic, explain each step in the new product development process in a PowerPoint presentation and evaluate the challenges. In your PowerPoint, identify each stage and the associated challenges for your new product. Be sure to provide the needed details in each step. Each slide should include a minimum of 100-150 words in the slide notes.
Your audience for your infographic is the team that will likely be tasked with the new product development initiative.

**Lesson 4: New Product Creation**
To maintain their competitive edge, marketers work to provide their customers with value. If they fail to do so, customers will move on to their competitors, where they see better value in what they purchase. To provide added value, marketers engage in the new product development process to develop products and services that are either new or find new applications for their existing products. This is especially important, as marketing activities are the worst-executed activities when developing new products (Cooper, 2019).
Various authors have offered models with differing numbers of systematic steps that must be followed in the new product development process. The number of steps in the process can vary because of the nature of the industry (Singh, 2021; Adams, 2019). It takes two years to get a product from the drawing board to the consumer’s hands.
**The Steps of New Product Design**
Regardless of the number of stages of the new product development process, there are important drivers of success. First, the process must have effective tactics, such as meaningful front-end research and developing a solid value proposition. Second, Strategic and environmental factors must be considered, including corporate climate and culture and the organization’s innovation strategy. Finally, organizational systems that are used for new product development are essential. Some plans include stage-gate processes and ideation methods (Cooper, 2019).
Developing a new product is time-consuming and risky and needs funding. Not all new product launches succeed, leading to poor financial returns. Some of the examples of why a new product launch fails are simple. On the one hand, a reason for failure could be that consumers did not require the product. Another reason could be that the new entrant failed to distinguish itself from a competitor’s existing brand. To avoid these pitfalls, Marketers must engage in the new product development process to launch a competitive product that consumers desire.
