Module Four Flowchart Presentation Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

In Milestone One, you recommended an innova�on op�on (incremental or discon�nuous) to the organiza�on from the course

scenario. Now that senior management of the company has approved your recommenda�on, your task is to find an efficient process

for your cross-func�onal team to follow during the development of your innova�on. Remember that your perspec�ve is s�ll that of

a middle manager for one of the top U.S. producers of luxury and mass-market automobiles and trucks.

You and your team are considering using Cooper’s stage-gate process for new product development. This is a standard process that

shows the journey of an idea from conceptualiza�on to the market. You will create a detailed flowchart to share with your cross-

func�onal team on one possible process for implemen�ng the innova�on recommenda�on you have made.

Prompt

Create a PowerPoint presenta�on with the following requirements, including a detailed flowchart. Ensure the presenta�on is useful

in helping your team understand the stage-gate process. Your presenta�on should include the following:

1. Describe the major elements of the stage-gate process (1–2 slides).

How many stages are in the process?

What is the purpose of each stage?

2. Create a stage-gate process flowchart (1 slide) using proper shapes for each step in your flowchart.

In the flowchart or speaker notes, list an example of an ac�vity at each stage.

In the flowchart or speaker notes, list a decision criterion at each stage using the company. Some examples of

decision criteria include:

i. Filter ideas to the preliminary inves�ga�on

ii. Filter projects to business opportuni�es

iii. Filter projects to product or process development

iv. Filter products to limited launch

v. Filter products to interna�onal marke�ng

3. Discuss the implica�ons of using the stage-gate process (1–2 slides).

When is the use of the stage-gate process appropriate?

How could the stage-gate process slow down innova�on?

Is the stage-gate process more conducive to an incremental or discon�nuous innova�on?

Guidelines for Submission

Using PowerPoint, create a presenta�on that is 3 to 5 slides with detailed speaker notes that highlight the important points you

want to emphasize to your team. If references are included, they should be cited in APA format. Consult the Shapiro Library APA

Style Guide for more informa�on on cita�ons.
