In their groundbreaking study Six Myths of Product Development, Stefan Thomke and Donald Reinertsen exposed common fallacies of product development and presented best practices for overcoming them (Harvard Business Review, May 2012). This eGuide highlights how Zemax Virtual Prototyping applies six of these best practices—and what it means for the optical products your team designs.

Learn the value of: • Remaining open to an evolving development plan • Using iterative—not linear—design processes • Experimenting with smaller batches for faster feedback • Quantifying the cost of delays and factoring it into your decisions • Making information flows visible
