Product development checklist Logo

  • This checklist touches on all key parts of product development; from prototyping and tooling to patents and manufacturing. It helps us gather the right details to create a clear project briefing and, once we’ve agreed on that together, prepare a quotation for your project.​
    ​
    Any information you share will be handled with the utmost confidentiality. We also provide an NDA template via this link, allowing you to establish confidentiality with us before filling in the checklist.​
    ​
    If you get stuck or need a bit more info, you’ll find handy links to our blog posts that explain each topic. The checklist only takes about 5 minutes to complete, and we’ll get back to you within one working day.

  • With most new ideas (especially when it involves a technical solution) it’s wise to first conduct a patent search, known as a Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis. This is typically done by a patent attorney or specialist to ensure you're not infringing on someone Welse's intellectual property, which could lead to legal issues later on. ManGo can connect you with trusted experts from our network to carry out this research. Learn more about patents here:

  • *ManGo’s engineers have a strong understanding of electronics, but we don’t develop or program electronic systems in-house. However, we work closely with trusted partners and can introduce you to experienced electronics developers. Learn more about how we collaborate with them here:

  • Sales

    Step 11 from 18

  • *This is especially important because different regions often have their own specific regulatory requirements and certification processes. At ManGo, we consider these from the very start to ensure that your product can later be certified and legally launched on the market. Learn more about regulations here:

  • Manufacturing

    Step 12 from 18

  • * The target manufacturing price plays a crucial role in shaping the entire development process. It influences everything, from the choice of components to the production techniques we can apply; to ensure your product can be manufactured cost-effectively at scale.

  • Manufacturing

    Step 15 from 18

  • * To manufacture most products competitively at scale, investing in production moulds is often essential. The budget you allocate for these moulds directly determines which manufacturing techniques are feasible and which fall outside the scope of your product design. This, in turn, has a significant impact on the industrial design workload. Learn more about moulds here:
