Product Design

Assignment:
This week we examine product and service strategies. One issue with products/services is they
may fail to update to current technology or consumer needs. This week we are going to
examine how an outdated/bad product was initially developed and what need it served. Then
define how the current needs/technologies have changed with respect to the product/service.
Finally, redesign the product/service to the current needs/technology.
The steps for the assignment are:

1. Recreate the requirements gathering process that could have led to the outdated/bad design
of the product.

2. Define how modern day requirements would change the product.

3. Redesign the product. Based on your redesign, how long do you estimate the product life
cycle to be before another redesign/update is needed?
