o convert an idea into a product takes a lot of different skills, including research and analysis, engineering, project management, and teamwork and collaboration. You need experts in market research that can unearth unsolved problems and track changing user and industry trends that can inform the creation of a new product (and determine if the market is large enough to justify further investigation).  You also need product developers that can efficiently build proof-of-concept prototypes to test those theories, as well as a testing framework to independently verify your results.
