Product lifecycle management (PLM) is a process that helps companies manage the development of a product from its conception to its eventual retirement.
There are many software solutions that offer PLM functionality, and the specific features that each solution offers can vary considerably. However, most PLM solutions include functionality for managing things like product data, product development processes, and regulatory compliance.
Some PLM solutions also offer features for managing things like supply chain management, product launch, and service and support.
