In today’s fast-paced world, tight deadlines are increasingly the norm. But just because you’re up against the clock doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the quality of your product design. With the right approach and experienced partners, you can deliver stunning, award winning products even on the smallest of timelines.

 

The Challenges of Tight Deadlines

When external factors force you to condense your project timeline, it can be tempting to cut corners and rush through the design process. This can potentially lead to poor results and drastically reduce your product’s success or even worse give up altogether.

 

The Agency Advantage

Outsourcing your design needs to a specialized agency can be revolutionary.

  • Freeing Up Internal Resources: By outsourcing design tasks to an agency, you free up your internal team to focus on the important things.
  • Expert Knowledge: Agencies have a wealth of experience and knowledge across design disciplines. Using an agency with specialist knowledge will turn around difficult projects faster, which means you’ll be better equipped for future projects.

How Does This Work in Practice?

Recently, we were tasked with a challenging design project. Rapidly transforming an innovative  razor blade cleaner proof of concept into a sales model for user testing and market exploration. Alongside this we were able to create valuable marketing media at a very early stage of the development process. Driven by the need to meet a crucial funding window, failure was not an option.

To meet this challenge, we  a strategic approach:

  1. Detailed Project Planning: We created a comprehensive project plan with clearly defined and achievable milestones. This ensures simple to follow and efficient time management.
  2. Data-Driven Decision Making: By gathering qualitative feedback, we were able to make informed decisions based on data rather than gut feel.
  3. 3D CAD Driven Workflow: Using the 3D CAD model as the core of the development process we were able to quickly iterate the designs whilst effectively communicating using 3D printed models and computer generated visuals.

The Outcome

Despite the tight timeframe, we successfully delivered a compelling design solution that met our client’s needs and exceeded expectations. Winning and international design award, but most importantly preparing our client with everything they need to apply for the next round of funding.
