Core (service) process of companies for the development and implementation of innovations and product ideas. The PDP requires project management to approach the defined task in a structured manner and meet the defined budget, dates, technical requirements, preconditions and quality. Project resources like product request and project overview, customer requirement specification and functional specification document, quality assessment, review, kick-off and a tight project organisation support operations in the different phases of product development.
