The assessment is carried out across 4 product development perspectives which include:

Processes and its associated practices that support the development of new solutions by maximizing customer and eliminating waste

Tools and Methods which enable effective product development process by assisting teams to carry out their tasks in the most productive way

Knowledge generated and stored during the product development process enables future developments to become faster and more efficient
