Concept Screening Template Concept Screening is a process that an organization can use to narrow down the number of ideas that are commonly generated for a new product or service. In order to ensure that the strongest ideas are selected for further development, they need to be screened against a common criteria. Concept Screening allows for potential products or services to be compared against current ones to garner a better understanding of how a new product will fare on the market.

Notably, this process can also be used when organization members need to reach agreement about which potential idea to pursue. Want more tools and templates? Visit https://upboard.io/
