  Product Lifecycle Management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Product Lifecycle Management or PLM is a term used for the process of managing the entire lifecycle of a product from its conception, through design and manufacture to service and disposal.
PLM should not be seen as a single software product but a collection of software tools and working methods integrated together to address either single stages of the lifecycle or connect different tasks or manage the whole process.
Depending on the complexity of the product a number of levels of this assembly are created until the basic definition of components can be identified, such as position and principle dimensions.

 New product development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marketers see new product development as the first stage in product life cycle management, engineers as part of Product Lifecycle Management.
Most industry leaders see new product development as a proactive process where resources are allocated to identify market changes and seize upon new product opportunities before they occur (in contrast to a reactive strategy in which nothing is done until problems occur).
In those industries where products are technically complex, development research is expensive, and product life cycles are short, strategic alliances among several organizations helps to spread the costs, provide access to a wider skills set, and speeds the process.

The beginning of the product lifecycle provides significant leverage on the success of the product, from managing the inflow of new ideas, screening promising ideas to balance the product portfolio, and reducing the time squandered before actual development begins.
