Request for review of process

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I have been working on something
similar to insert Product Design into the current Product Development
process.
In the context of my current situation, the only think I see that is missing
is the role Product Management plays in the process.

Yes, thanks for sharing. I might suggest having the style guide done by the end of the interaction design phase, for one reason being the visual comp creating may need it to minimize rework. We use outside agencies for a lot of the visual design, and without a style guide, they wouldn't have much of an idea where to begin or what we had in mind..

Hi Aringa:

Thanks for your sharing of the ideas.

I'm not sure I really get the spirit of the process. here's some comment to
the pdf's content:
1. since it's about a process, it's better that you add the input and output
of each phase, ;-), since we know the process is the line between the two
points
2. pls give your priciple of the process (the problem you try to solve and
the basic princile behind the designing of the process)
3. if you can also define the process buy using the process it's self to
demotrate it's strength (and shortcomings?)

Cheers
