Approach of Rapid Product Development in Distributed Environment

The product development time is limited because a great deal of information from all kinds of sources in the distributed develop process is interweaved. In spite of the complex of the activities in the process, they show as a series of parallel or serial or coupled activities running from the time axis. A new pattern, that is asynchronous and synchronous coupling product development pattern based on network, is concluded. Asynchronous and synchronous coupling means that asynchronous process and synchronous process interact each other to finish product development. The approach use the visual technology and real time inspect technology to solve data manage problem in the distributed environment. In addition, ICE (integrated collaborative environment) is built to support the collaboration in the distributed environment.
