Project Software Ansoff Matrix

An Ansoff matrix helps a business discuss growth through existing or new products and existing or new markets. Market penetration focuses on selling more existing products to existing customers. Market development takes existing products to new customer groups or places. Product development adds new offerings for current markets. Diversification combines a new product with a new market and usually carries the most uncertainty. The matrix does not rank choices automatically. Use it to make the assumptions, capabilities, investment needs, and risks of each growth path visible before selecting an initiative.
