About MethodKit for Product Development

We wanted to create a smart tool that highlights the most important bits and pieces for successful product development. It is hard to keep everything in one’s mind. And even if you do manage to reach an understanding, the rest of the team might not!

MethodKit for Product Development is a deck of cards that helps you clarify thoughts and develop ideas. It gives you an overview of the key aspects of working with product development and design. A tool to think with, to use for workshop organizing and to facilitate discussions.

MethodKit for Product Development contains 65 illustrated aspect cards, each with a key issue or method that aids in defining and giving structure to your product development. The cards become catalysts to accelerate the idea development process, they support you when you get stuck and give you an overview. We believe that the cards makes things so much easier. We ourselves even use the MethodKit for Product Development for developing new tools!
