When working together to develop successful shows, identify and manage issues, and make sound and timely proposals to facilitate decision-making, an Integrated Product Team (IPT) is formed. An IPT is made up of representatives from suitable processing disciplines who collaborate to build popular programs, help resolve issues, and make sound and timely guidelines to facilitate decision-making. IPTs are used in complicated development programs and projects to assess and make decisions on the progress of the program or project. The International Project Team places a strong focus on the participation of all stakeholders (users, consumers, managers, developers, and contractors) in a collaboration forum. To create and oversee the execution of the performance-based support strategy, the Program Manager (PM) and/or Product Department Manager (PSM) should establish collaborative practice under the supervision of the Program Manager (PM). The IPTs should take into account all of the aspects and criteria that are essential to accomplish the best possible support plan while using the best available resources from both the government and business in the most cost-effective way (Ebekozien, et al 2022).

To ensure that the support concept is merged with other logistics operations and combat support functions, as well as providing an agile and robust combat capability, DoD Component and National Defence Logistics Agency (DLA) logistics activities could perhaps participate in endorse strategy development as well as IPTs. Participants in this group may contribute to the successful integration of system-oriented methods with commodity-oriented techniques (common support approaches), the optimization of user assistance, and the maximization of the overall logistical system's worth (Ebekozien, et al 2022).

IPTs serve as the foundation for arranging development employees in order to allow Concurrent Engineer, Integrated Product Innovation, or Lean Product Development to take place simultaneously.

They are established only for the goal of producing and providing a product or service to a consumer, and nothing else (s). The implementation of IPD and LPD signifies a shift away from a functional stovepipe emphasis to a customer product focus on the part of the organization. In the context of an IPD or LPD, teamwork brings the global product disciplines together in a mutually reinforcing relationship that aids in the removal of hurdles to the success of the IPT project. IPTs are used at a variety of levels, ranging from the general structure of an organization to informal organizations that operate across many divisions within the business. IPTs are intended to bring together all of the departments that have a stake in a product or process's performance and to make integrated choices that influence the product or process at the same time. Ad hoc teams that handle particular challenges may be established, and their members' abilities can be deployed at all levels of an organization, from the general structure of the company down to the level of individual team members (Ebekozien, et al 2022).
