This webinar series is an initiative of the COOCK project ‘Oriënteren en Beslissen in Slimme Product Exploratie’ funded by VLAIO. More information about this project can be found on the project page.

Intelligence and connectivity are becoming essential product properties. Making a product smart and connected opens possibilities but also raises questions: How to be successful? How to reduce risks? How to keep focus? How to present your solution? What value does it offer? What technology and expertise are needed?

This three part webinar series addresses the above questions and many more, in a systematic way. Our approach is based on the System Engineering methodology developed by the INCOSE consortium of system engineering, that is consolidated in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-1 standards. The goal is to minimize the “fuzziness” in the smart product exploration and validation.

In the third webinar (17/6/2022 – 3pm) “Solution Space Exploration and Validation” we address the fuzzy front-end of product development which transforms first ideas of a (smart) product-based solution into a validated concept upon which a Product Requirements Document (PRD) can be based. The PRD forms the basis of the product’s architecture definition, the first phase of the actual product development.
