A guide to develop a product from scratch.

This guide is under development so not yet complete. It may be turned in to an ebook later when parts may disappear. So keep on top of it, send a link to a friend if it helps him.

There are a lot of people that have great ideas for new products. But turning an idea in to a product is not the easiest thing to do. Writing a book or maybe even a piece of software may be quite easy for some folks. Bun when it gets to developing a physical product a lot of stuff needs sorting out.

Sven has done a lot of development on physical products. On these pages you will find a lot of pointers that help you through the first stages, from the idea to the finished product..

I will use the development of my windvane self-steering system Mr. Vane as a basis for this guide. The development of Mr. Vane was the biggest project I had ever done and it took all of the skills I had learned throughout my life.

If you are working on a product that is not a physical one, this will still be interesting to you. A lot of the ideas on developing physical products apply to any product. Physical, digital, theater, writing, you name it.
