Most of the categorization frameworks for innovation projects in early development phases are not designed for supporting the product engineer in decision making and leave space for further improvement.

The focus is to provide a fundamental understanding of the varieties of product innovation projects and establish a basis for decision support frameworks regarding the adoption of tools and methods.
