Most discussions on integration focus on the activities during the building of the product. Early actions are limited to defining and controlling the interface requirements. With the reality of the increased costs of fixing problems late in the program and the general recognition that there are usually problems at the interfaces, this seems to be a less than optimum approach. This paper looks at several ways to improve the overall integration process and find those problems much earlier. Examples are given of both need for earlier actions and their benefit.
