Product/Project R&D Management System V3.0

General Principle : The R&D management system sets minimum baseline rules (制度决定底限) and defines upper limits based on capability and willingness, ensuring all participants adhere to core standards throughout product development.

Chapter 1 – General Provisions : Defines the scope of product/project R&D management, emphasizing the importance of controlled processes to guarantee quality and schedule.

Chapter 2 – Requirement Analysis Management : Covers demand collection (market feedback, competitor analysis, customer input, operational data, internal suggestions) and documentation of business, user, functional, and non‑functional requirements.

Chapter 3 – Feasibility Report & Prototype : Requires a feasibility analysis covering market, technology, finance, and production, followed by approval from the Technical Strategy Committee; also mandates prototype creation to visualize UI/UX.

Chapter 4 – Project Initiation & Review : Details the content of the project initiation report (technology direction, market dynamics, resource feasibility, economic benefits) and the review/approval process by the Technical Strategy Committee and General Manager.

Chapter 5 – R&D Management (Design & Development) : After approval, the project team creates a development plan, then produces high‑level (overview) and detailed designs (architecture, database, module, functional, deployment) based on the requirements specification and prototype. Development follows these designs, with progress reported to the Quality Management Department.

Chapter 6 – Test Management : Defines unit, integration, and system testing phases; the Test Department creates test plans, environments, and reports, tracks bugs, and collaborates with developers to resolve issues.

Chapter 7 – Product Release & Operation Management : After successful testing, the product is released; operation teams handle deployment, hardware installation, user training, maintenance, and feedback, producing various operational documents (installation checklist, training records, maintenance logs, feedback forms).

Chapter 8 – Documentation Management : Stipulates that R&D documentation is confidential, managed by the R&D Center, and must be complete before acceptance; unauthorized removal of documents is prohibited.

Chapter 9 – R&D Cost Management : Lists allowable cost items (research, travel, external cooperation, patents, overtime, bonuses) and requires separate budgeting, accounting, and financial supervision.

Chapter 10 – Intellectual Property Management : Requires copyright registration for source code and samples, patent filing for inventions, trademark registration for product branding, clear IP clauses in external collaboration agreements, and protection of trade secrets.

Chapter 11 – Appendices : The policy is authored by the PMO, with interpretation and amendment rights reserved by the PMO, and becomes effective upon approval and issuance.
