Integrated product team in large scale and complex systems

Abstract

The development process of Large and complex systems are a highly complex process involving different disciplines which shall take decision and develop interrelated subsystems. Integrated Product Team is a management tool used to improve system development performance. Among the potential benefits of implementing the integrated product team principles are reduced development time, reduced risk of failure, enhanced quality, flexibility and better knowledge sharing. This paper provides an overview of the integrated product team's principles and evaluates the lessons and guidance in existing literature applicable to develop large and complex systems. Recommendations based on own experience and lessons learned developing large and complex systems are presented here.
