Decide on product concept

Purpose

The decision on product concept forms the prerequisite for the development or adaptation of products or services.

Basic idea

The decision on product concept confirms conformity of the envisaged solution with the requirements and needs of the core organization.

HERMES-specific

Before the decision is made, the product concept is checked by the responsible controlling and compliance bodies.
