However, some common samples that may be needed include materials samples to test for durability and quality, prototypes to test for functionality and design, packaging samples to test for protection and presentation, and user testing samples to gather feedback on the product.

In this episode, we're going to talk about five tips on who to involve in the product requirements process. 

First, let's start with some explanation of why it's so important to have a product requirements process in place. First of all, if you do not have this process in place, you run the risk that during development, product requirements keep on changing, because you didn't involve the right people on time when you were specifying your new product requirements. 

And of course, this disrupts the development process and is causing cost increases and delays of your product launch. And this is not what we want. So, therefore, it's important at the beginning of a new project to involve the right disciplines and the right experts in defining your new product requirements.
