DESCRIPTION:Getting a product from a production-ready prototype to a salea
 ble product and into the hands of the customer is a complex\, time-consumi
 ng\, and resource-intensive process. Unfortunately\, teams almost always u
 nderestimate the pain\, work\, time\, and resources involved and\, as a re
 sult\, are understaffed\, miss deadlines\, and start selling product with 
 quality issues and higher costs than desired. There are only two certainti
 es in product realization: there is more work than teams plan for\, and no
 thing will be done right the first time. This talk will review best practi
 ce tools and methods used across industries and company sizes.
