Integrated Product & Process Development

Many businesses have massive investments in the latest design tools; Sophisticated 3D CAD stations, State-of-the-art Product Data Management (PDM), Visual Integration tools, etc.. Many also apply the term Integrated Product Team (IPT), in one form or another, to every part of their development organization.

All of the acronyms, none of the promised results. Products are delivered late, over budget and often perform poorly. Customers are promised fixes in subsequent updates. Somehow, the next update just creates more problems.

The problem is not the tools, its your processes. New tools and new names applied to old ways of doing business is just paving the cow path. You cannot expect different or improved results.
