Integrated product teams
development approach where software analysts perform the requirements definition 
work and pass the requirements along to product design, implementation, test and eval-
uation, and post-development process engineers. This results in a loss of understand-
ing caused by asynchronous communications. The general approach for executing IPPD 
is to form multidisciplinary teams for all products and post-development processes to 
address technical issues, balance requirements, and help integrate the various teams. 
Participation by technical and management groups will vary throughout the product life 
cycle as the work transitions throughout the phases of software development.
