The Business challenges every product team of tomorrow of faces:
Resource bandwidth affecting new product innovation
Teams are locked in sustenance and not able to focus and speed up R&D and innovation to gain competitive advantage
High total cost of ownership (TCO)
Product Sustenance takes up 50-80% of the total cost of ownership
Operational challenges due to complexity & diversity
Too many and disparate products/platforms, different technologies, complex demography and geographical spread of teams and varying stage of lifecycles
Continued support for sunset products
This could be due to strong customer affinity, niche markets, organizational dynamics, etc. Most of such products are with legacy technology, tribal knowledge and facing challenges due to attrition/retirement
Ageing portfolios, cost centers that need a turnaround
25-30% of R&D spend on end-of-life products that generate 15-20% of revenues
Semiconductor crisis & Electronics obsolescence management
Urgent need to do re-engineering / redesign / reverse engineering / value engineering / cost engineering / meet regulatory compliances
