That is, if activity a would precede activity b in a partly parallel development process, b might commence before a is completed. Lead users customers who face the same general needs of the marketplace but are likely to experience them months or years earlier than the rest of the marketplace and stand to benefit disproportionately from solutions to those needs. Crowdsourcing a distributed problem-solving model whereby a design problem or production task is presented to a group of people who voluntarily contribute their ideas and effort in exchange for compensation, rewards, or a combination thereof. Go/kill decision points gates established in the development process where managers must evaluate whether or not to kill the project or allow it to proceed.
