Innovation is a collaborative exercise between PM, Design and Engineering.
Engineering:
Engineers assess the tech feasibility of new ideas and concepts.
They might create prototypes, spikes, conduct tests, and provide tech input on design and product requirements
Eng. might also have architectural input to make sure the solution is feasible within given timeframes and constraints
Design:
Designers often lead efforts to gather and analyze user feedback on proposed UX via usability testing or other means
Both engineering and design teams are involved in creating prototypes and conducting user tests.
My fav method is a hackathon where all functions work together to come up with an idea and get scrappy about implementing an MVP.
