How do you keep Engineering and Product teams aligned when things scale?

As teams grow, alignment and synchronization become harder not because people communicate less, but because information is dispersed. I would like to know how different teams handle this:

  • Do you rely more on tools or rituals?

  • Are specs and documentation living documents or one-off files?

  • What s the biggest misalignment you ve seen between Engineering and Product?

Would love to hear how others keep teams synced without adding process overload.

A Quick Hello from the Nora IPLM Team 👋

Hello Product Hunters! 

I m P nar from the Nora IPLM team. 

 

Nora IPLM is a cloud PLM platform built for small and mid-sized manufacturers, connecting product data, workflows, and collaboration so teams can manage their lifecycle in one unified workplace with fewer manual steps. Excited to meet makers here, share product-building stories, and learn from your experiences. I am excited to explore ways to build and collaborate together!

Building Nora IPLM: The Honest Story

When we started building Nora IPLM, we thought the hardest part would be the technology.

Integrating CAD, automating BOM changes, managing complex workflows these are challenges, but they are ultimately solvable problems.

Turns out, the biggest hurdle was entirely human: getting people to care.

Why We Built Nora IPLM

For years, we have seen small and mid-sized manufacturers struggle with managing product data across spreadsheets, scattered documents, emails, and multiple tools. Teams lose time searching for the right file, engineering changes cause confusion, and product releases get delayed, not due to capability but due to chaos.

We built Nora IPLM to simplify product lifecycle management for real hardware teams, without complexity, long implementations, or enterprise pricing.

With AI-powered document intelligence, Nora IPLM can automatically extract part details, classify files, and identify changes across revisions. It helps teams stay accurate and aligned without manual effort.

Hi Product Hunt! Happy to connect and share my work in PLM & product development!

Hello everyone, I m Manoj someone who s spent the last 16 years working across product design, manufacturing, and PLM, and genuinely enjoying the mix of engineering and digital transformation.

Most of my journey has been around CAD design, PLM systems, and supporting teams through real-world product development challenges. I ve worked hands-on with tools like Creo, SolidWorks, CATIA, Windchill, Teamcenter, and EPDM, and I love figuring out how all these systems connect to make product data flow the way it should. Over time, I ve become passionate about how good PLM practices can make engineering teams faster, clearer, and more confident in what they build.

I m always excited to connect with people working in product development, PLM, CAD, manufacturing, or digital engineering. If you re building something interesting in this space or just want to talk PLM, I d love to chat.
