 PDP FAQ

What is a PDP?
A PDP is short for Product Development Partnership and is a formal program which is designed to engage participants during the actual design and development process of a possible new feature. Participants are given the opportunity to help prioritize use cases and review early prototypes.

How long is a PDP?

What is my commitment if I participate?
PDP’s are a very hands on way to influence the product direction. The PDP will meet on the first Wednesday of every month for a live one-hour session. We will also communicate 5-10 ad-hoc opportunities per month that you may be eligible to participate in based on your role, experience or background. These opportunities could include formal usability tests, focus groups, interviews, etc where you will partner directly with Blackboard Product Designers.
