Decision Checkpoint Reviews in IPD Projects
Integrated Product Development (IPD) is part of the Decision Checkpoints (DCPs) process. Although the IPD community does not have a quality assurance (QA) organization, they are still required to execute QA tasks. DCPs are structured project reviews with specific entry and exit criteria that measure the progress of an IPD project. DCPs are held, in some cases, as a baseline review. DCPs are conducted at the following points in a project's life cycle.
