Standards, frameworks and tools for the global product profession.
Professional body platform
From a simple idea…
“Why does product management have no institution?”
The Spark
Law has one. Accounting has one. Engineering has one.
Product, the discipline running the world's software, has none.
No shared standards. No common language.
Every team reinventing practice from scratch.
Credibility, with no way to signal it.
So we built the IPP.
The Institute of Product Professionals: professional body platform, live at theipp.org
Open the live siteProduct content optimises opinions. Nobody builds the institution.
The landscape today
Blogs & gurus
Sell frameworks with no shared standard behind them.
Courses
Sell certificates that rarely change practice.
Communities
Trade anecdotes where practitioners need evidence.
The gap
Nothing anchors the profession the way an institution does.
The core experience principles.
The commitments that held from first sketch to production, each one a response to something the product had to live with.
Standards as data, not documents
Frameworks live in PostgreSQL as structured models, so they render as interactive tools and stay consistent everywhere they appear.
Institutional longevity without lock-in
Standard web technologies and an open architecture mean the body can evolve its platform with any team, over decades.
AI-assisted drafting, human-governed standards
Models help draft and cross-reference; every standard passes through practitioner review and remains auditable.
Built on a modern, scalable technology stack.

The pace was unlike anything we'd seen from an agency, strategy on Monday, something we could click by Friday.
