Quartz Open Framework

Enable your product teams to achieve business results through a nimble process, practical tools, and a common language.
The Quartz Open Framework was created by leveraging the experience of dozens of product professionals and industry thought-leaders.

PHASES of Quartz
As a process framework, Quartz defines the necessary steps and how to order them, turning innovation into a choreographed dance.


Always Be Learning
Continuous learning is at the core of Quartz. Learn at every step and adjust your plans accordingly.

Product Strategy
Before investing in a new idea, whether a new product, a new initiative, or a new launch, know whether it is worth it for your organization, where it fits in your portfolio, and what people will benefit.

Product Planning
With the approval to proceed with the innovation, lay out the vision and goals of the project, define who will buy and adopt the innovation, and start creating.

Product Growth
Concurrent with product creation, prepare your internal teams to deliver to your market and customers. Come up with go-to-market plans and define launch goals. As you execute, consider what has and has not worked and feed that information back into the organization.
