System and Method for Crowd Sourcing Product Development

摘要

A system and method for crowd sourcing product development. A product idea submission form for a product idea is submitted through a product idea submission module by an innovator user. The product idea submission form is decompiled into a plurality of tasks according to the product idea, wherein each of the tasks has a unique identification number. The plurality of tasks is displayed through a release window module, wherein engineer users can view the tasks and place a plurality of bids on each of the tasks, each of the bids including a cost estimate, time estimate, and initial technical schematic. An administrator user reviews the bids and makes a bid selection for a particular bid from the plurality of bids for each of the tasks. Final completed task information is retrieved for each of the tasks and compiled into a product development process package then sent to the innovator user.

1. A method for crowd sourcing product development by executing computer-executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the method comprises the steps of:
receiving a product idea submission form through an innovator user account; assigning a unique identification number to each of a plurality of tasks derived from the product idea submission form; displaying the plurality of tasks through a release window module; receiving a plurality of bids for each of the plurality of tasks; receiving a bid selection corresponding to a particular bid from the plurality of bids for each of the plurality of tasks; receiving final completed task information for each of the plurality of tasks through a research and development module; and sending a product development process package to the innovator user account, wherein the product development process package is generated from the final completed task information of each of the plurality of tasks.
