Relay product development is an innovative approach that emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and a seamless workflow to create high-quality products. This method draws inspiration from the relay race, where each runner hands off the baton to the next in line. In the context of product development, the baton symbolizes the responsibilities and tasks that need to be passed between team members to ensure a successful outcome. It is a process that promotes clear communication, teamwork, and a structured flow of work from one phase to the next.

    At the core of relay product development lies the idea of breaking down the development cycle into distinct stages, each handled by a specialized team. Each stage in the process, from initial ideation and design to production and market launch, involves specific tasks, and every team member is accountable for their phase's completion. The key here is ensuring that the handoff between stages is efficient, well-coordinated, and transparent. With clear documentation, knowledge sharing, and synchronized workflows, the method allows for high-quality products to be developed more rapidly and with fewer errors.
