An Integrated Product Development (IPD) method combined with the software Capacity Maturity Model (CMM) is presented. The key elements in the framework of IPD are explored, and the product development process under the framework is discussed. Aiming at the features of telecommunication product, the integration between IPD and CMM is studied. At last the deployment of IPD is addressed and some key issues are pointed out.The pilot projects proved that the IPD is an effective method for the telecommunication product development.
