It’s now critical to ensure you communicate your product concept to your product design consultancy with clarity. There’s a lot to consider, so how about a checklist to ensure you are providing the best brief that you can, for best success? We thought you’d never ask.
So you’ve got a great product idea, sourced some funding to get it moving, and what to approach a product design consultancy. But now what?
