Question 1

Technical development is part of the fuzzy front-end of innovation.

Accepted Answer

Technical development typically occurs after the fuzzy front-end, which involves idea generation and concept development.

Question 2

In the case of new products, a tangible outcome is expected at the end of the technical development stage.

Accepted Answer

This is true as the technical development stage is where the product is developed and finalised, resulting in a tangible prototype or product at the end.

Question 3

A product protocol is short, similar to a product concept statement.

Accepted Answer

A product protocol is typically more detailed than a product concept statement, outlining specific requirements and criteria for product development.

Question 4

In the case of services (as opposed to products), a tangible outcome is expected at the end of the technical development stage.

Accepted Answer

In the case of services, the tangible outcome is not necessarily expected at the end of the technical development stage. Services are intangible by nature, and the focus may be more on the development of processes and systems rather than a physical end product.

Question 5

The marketing department in any organization is solely responsible for the product protocol.

Accepted Answer

The marketing department is responsible for promoting and creating awareness about the product, but the product protocol is typically developed by the product development team or engineering department.

Question 6

Gamma testing is a vital testing technique that helps to conduct quick tests that generate rapid feedback.

Accepted Answer

Gamma testing is not a recognized phase in the software testing life cycle. The primary recognized testing phases are unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing.

Question 7

The start of technical development starts after which new product development process stage?&#10;A) Opportunity identification&#10;B) Concept Generation&#10;C) Concept Evaluation&#10;D) Commercialization

Accepted Answer

The technical development stage comes after the concept evaluation stage, where potential concepts are evaluated in terms of technical feasibility, market potential, and cost-effectiveness. The technical development stage is where the identified concept is developed and refined to meet technical specifications, including designing and testing prototypes.

Question 8

A key outcome of the technical development stage is:&#10;A) a preliminary budget.&#10;B) a marketing plan.&#10;C) a tangible product.&#10;D) a key concept.

Accepted Answer

The technical development stage involves converting the key concept into a tangible product through various technical processes such as design, prototyping, testing, and refinement. Therefore, the key outcome of this stage is the development of a tangible product.

Question 9

The product protocol is:&#10;A) A verbal or pictorial version of a proposed new product&#10;B) A documented statement that identifies and describes the rationale for product development or the product planning initiative to be undertaken&#10;C) An important guiding document that specifies what should be ultimately developed&#10;D) None of the above

Accepted Answer

The product protocol is an important guiding document that outlines what ultimately needs to be developed. It includes detailed specifications and requirements for the product, as well as a rationale for the product and the product planning initiative.

Question 10

In general, when compared to a product concept statement, a product protocol is:&#10;A) Shorter in length&#10;B) Longer in length&#10;C) About the same length&#10;D) In terms of document length, there is no difference between a product protocol and a product concept statement

Accepted Answer

A product protocol is typically longer in length than a product concept statement because it includes more detailed information about the product such as technical specifications, manufacturing requirements, testing procedures, and regulatory compliance. The product concept statement, on the other hand, is a more concise description of the product and its intended benefits to the customer.

Question 11

One of the elements or sections contained within a product protocol is:&#10;A) Product Positioning&#10;B) Potholes&#10;C) Timing&#10;D) All of the above is contained within a product protocol document

Accepted Answer

The answer of One of the elements or sections contained...

Question 12

__________ is a knowledge-based approach that attempts to design products that maximize certain desirable characteristics while being cost-effective.&#10;A) DFX&#10;B) A/B Testing&#10;C) QFD&#10;D) CAD

Accepted Answer

The answer of __________ is a knowledge-based approach that attempts...

Question 13

Which of the following could potentially aid technical development activities.&#10;A) Computer-aided design&#10;B) Computer-aided manufacturing&#10;C) Computer-aided engineering&#10;D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following could potentially aid...

Question 14

Customers are not used in __________ testing.&#10;A) Gamma&#10;B) Alpha&#10;C) Beta&#10;D) Delta

Accepted Answer

The answer of Customers are not used in __________ testing.&#10;A)...

Question 15

Employees are predominantly used in __________ testing&#10;A) Gamma&#10;B) Alpha&#10;C) Beta&#10;D) Delta

Accepted Answer

The answer of Employees are predominantly used in __________ testing&#10;A)...

Question 16

__________ testing is usually long term in nature.&#10;A) Gamma&#10;B) Alpha&#10;C) Beta&#10;D) Delta

Accepted Answer

The answer of __________ testing is usually long term in...
