Overview
You may be curious why product and project management is on a single webpage rather than separate ones. While projects and products are distinct topics, they are inherently interconnected. Consider a new product’s journey: it traverses multiple stages throughout its lifecycle, from idea inception to engineering design, testing, and production. Without effective management at each stage, a product cannot achieve cost-effectiveness or successful production. Through our consulting experience, we’ve learned that robust project management processes are essential for successfully navigating a product’s lifecycle. In essence, product and project management are intertwined.
Why choose SolidCAD?
Various methods exist for managing products and projects, with Microsoft Excel being one of the most common tools used today. While Excel is useful, its limitations become evident as the number of projects grows and product lifecycles become more complex. Managing multiple Excel files becomes challenging, and manual searches for data and traceability become time-consuming.
