Abstract
AbstractIntegrated Product Development is a creative new way to produce quality products in a predetermined time within a set cost. The focus is on multifunctional teams working together and total integration of all products and processes (people, tools, and techniques). Within the team structure several potential pitfalls exist that can threaten the process. This paper suggests that two of the critical pitfalls involve (1) the project manager effectively executing new responsibilities that fall to him or her in the process and (2) the organization overcoming the difficulties of applying the systems engineering methodology to the products being developed by these concurrent teams.
