Design project planning: step-by-step guide for the perfect start

When you want to start a design project, there are many factors to consider to ensure it is a successful design project. From careful planning and budgeting to choosing the right design, working with the right team and communicating effectively with clients and stakeholders.

We are aware of these challenges and want to give you the perfect start to your design project. With our clear step-by-step guide, we make your start as easy and secure as possible. We focus on clear and open communication and a transparent design process. Take a look at the following 8 steps and find out what your design project could look like.

1. confidentiality

Trust and confidentiality form the basis for open discussions at the start of every design project. After all, we are talking about your individual strategy development and your future business success.

Simply send us your NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). Don't have one? We have sample NDAs in German and English, which we will be happy to provide you with.

2. briefing

Do you find it difficult to define the exact objective of your design project?
‍You
are not alone in this! That's why we've developed a simple tool for you: the 24 design factors. This system helps us to better understand your ideas and customer requirements and to optimally plan the design process. Try it out and lay the foundation for a successful project start.

3. plan and process

Our medical design process is the blueprint for successful design projects within the scope of regulated medical devices. However, our design processes also help you to consistently achieve your goals outside of regulation. Careful planning and a structured design process are crucial for the perfect start to your project.

4. contractual

Design is an individual service and a customer-specific offer forms the basis for a binding agreement on price and performance. We are happy to adapt to your requirements and initially calculate the approximate cost for you to enable transparent budget planning.

You are welcome to request our general conditions for design services (the small print) in advance.

5. promotion
