The graphic helps illustrate the linear nature of the product development process and the many dependencies between its phases. At the same time, it is important to understand that the process is iterative. Each phase must be completed, but they do not necessarily follow in a simple step-by-step sequence.

To avoid unnecessary and costly rework, each phase must be carried out with attention to satisfying end-user and regulatory requirements.
