Abstract:
Despite the prevalence of development approaches in design education, their impact on product resulting products often remains unassessed. This empirical study evaluates (1) the influence of development method application on product concept quality and (2) the effect of effort spent on both. Participants in an undergraduate course were supervised in their development process. The results show a significant positive correlation between effort and method application quality. However, effort spent...     »
Absract (alternative):
Various approaches to support product development, ranging from German VDI guidelines to agile strategies, share commonalities, e.g., they recommend methods like requirement elicitation or product evaluation strategies. While extensively present in design education, the distinctive effect of development approaches on resulting products often remains unassessed. This paper presents the framework of an empirical study and its results, examining (1) the influence of development method application o...     »
