Throughout this five-part series, we’ve watched our fictional cleaning robot manufacturer, Garry’s Robots Ltd., transform their chaotic product development process by implementing a standardized prioritization framework. After establishing a data foundation, creating scoring structures, and securing organization-wide buy-in, they’re ready for the final critical phase: making their new prioritization approach sustainable. Even well-designed frameworks can...
