Abstract

In order to identify the role of prototyping in the process of developing a new product, the author conducted a comparative analysis of three process models according to key criteria. As objects of comparison, approaches were chosen that describe the entire process from idea to product and its commercialization, including the “development” stage, within which prototypes are created and tested. The comparative analysis examined: the product development life cycle model of A. Cohen, a product manager specializing in innovative technologies, and the Stage-Gate system together with the model of this next generation system by R. Cooper, an expert in innovation management. A systems study identified the need to prototype new product features at each stage of development using an Agile approach, dividing the development process into short sprints. At the same time, the prototype plays an important role in testing not only consumer properties, but also the technical characteristics of a new product.
