PIE FOR NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Smarter NPD planning
New product development (NPD) takes too long and too often, the final product misses the mark. Without clear plans with reusability, timelines slip and outcomes fall short.
Pie helps NPD managers deliver results faster. Turn past work into reusable, flexible frameworks that can be improved with AI. Include strategic alignment for all execution and give leadership real-time portfolio insights.
From ideation to commercialization
1) Ideation.
A pain is that ideas are slow to surface, scattered across tools, and stuck in endless meetings while your competitors move faster.
Pie provides a solution that gives your team a structured, visual workspace to identify, evaluate, and prioritize product ideas quickly. Use modular boards and drag-and-drop cards to see the big picture. Spot high-potential concepts early and accelerate decision-making in your ideation phase.
2) Prototype, test, build.
Most tools force you to pick between rigid process workflows and agile boards. However, NPD projects need both. This can slow down the early phases such as design and prototype before building something new.
Pie lets you set up product project phases (“pie slices”) to match how your team actually works. Use process boxes for linear steps like preparing the build, and agile boards for iterative phases like prototyping — all within the same project. No trade-offs. Just flexible execution that moves fast.
3) Develop and launch.
NPD projects can collapse under their own complexity weight with too many moving parts and too little clarity before launch.
Pie simplifies. Pie gives project managers and teams a layered view of execution: zoom out to see overall progress, or dive into the details to spot gaps. It’s one shared visual that keeps everyone aligned and launch-ready.
