Plant the seed.

Got an idea but need help nurturing it? Our product development process can turn your concept into a fully realized, market-ready offering.

Create,
Iterate,
verify,
validate

Your vision needs the right environment to take root and flourish. That's where we come in!

We'll dig deep to understand your product’s potential: How will people use it? What features can make it stand out? How can it delight your users?

Create, iterate, verify, validate — that’s our development protocol. By investing this time upfront, we can shave months off your time to market.

our product development process

Mango PD can guide your idea through every stage of the product development life cycle.

Exploration

First, we get to know your product concept inside and out — its goals, users, key features, competitors, and more.
  • What problem does your product solve?
  • Who are you designing for? How will they interact with the product?
  • What makes your product unique and valuable?
  • Who are your competitors?
Understanding these elements helps us fence the development process. During this phase, we recommend exploring all possibilities. Let your vision blossom into a compelling concept before attempting to refine or perfect it — that part can come later! Giving yourself this early creative freedom will lead to a more innovative final product!

Design Scoping

Once we clearly understand your vision, we develop a product thesis to validate assumptions.
This thesis outlines your product’s reason for existence — its value proposition, differentiation, and intended market impact. We also turn our focus to the user experience during this stage. How will your product seamlessly integrate into people’s lives? Can we make interactions as intuitive as breathing? Will it be clear and effortless, even without instructions?

Making Your Idea Tangible

Once we have a solid design direction and a well-defined feature set, we can turn your concept into a tangible prototype in as little as one week.
But this isn’t just about speed — it’s a strategic iteration where each prototype is a learning tool. Did it work as planned? Can we make it even simpler and sleeker? We challenge every assumption to make sure we’re building the right thing — not just building something right. Here’s where things get extra sweet: Our Quality Process puts your product through the wringer at every stage to ensure it works in the real world. We create custom test fixture setups to catch defects early in the design process. Need safety certification? We work with both UL and ETL to identify the right protocols, ensure your product is compliant, and earn your certification mark.
