Principles & Practises
summary
Pearson codifies a six‑stage product life cycle tied to clear go/no‑go criteria, abandons upfront business cases in favor of incremental thresholds (early experiments capped at $50,000 limit), and rolls governance into small cross‑functional product consuls. A central portfolio tool links Oracle/CRM data, the 70/20/10 horizon split guides funding, and 150 trained life‑cycle coaches plus pilots in six‑seven business units drive adoption while shifting spend toward H2/H3 innovation.
