What steps do you follow for contract engineering and product development?

The front end of any development is the most important to reduce development risks. Patton begins with a thorough, multi-step process of Concept Development and Requirements Definition around a Preliminary Design Concept (loaded with block diagrams, technology decisions, and so forth.) From there, the basic milestones are Project Plan, Specification Review, Design, Pilot, Validation and Release.
