Integrated product development Integrated product development (IPD) is a set of models, concepts and methods for product development. The idea of IPD comes from the book PACE (Excellent Product and Cycle Time) published by American PRTM Company, which describes all aspects of this new product development model in detail.
Key elements of ipd
1. Inter-departmental team, including the product review committee of the management and the product development team (PDT) that specifically implements the development process.
2. Structured process. IPD process is divided into six stages and four main decision review points (DCP), which are planned and managed by inter-departmental teams. These six stages include concept, planning, development, verification, release and life cycle, and each stage has its phased goals, concerns and deliverables.
