Product development at Intel has become increasingly complex as the company moves from delivering independent components to delivering usage-centric platform/ingredient systems. To better address the business issues that could prevent the success of the platform strategy, a product development risk process was developed and deployed. This process is based on the standard corporate risk management methodology and uses a database tool to provide consistent deployments across teams. The current process focuses on qualitative assessment of risks across product development. The deployment of this process has improved the quality of product development processes and reduced last-minute fire-fighting responses to issues. Active risk management. using common processes and tools has resulted in increased communication across large platform development teams, accelerated product launches, and quick responses to ecosystem changes. As teams gain experience in active risk management the focus will move towards more quantitative analysis. The future of product development risk management will tie schedule and risk management more closely together with Monte Carlo simulations to improve the predictability of launching a platform with the needed feature set in the time-to-market window.
