What Does PDR Stand For?
PDR stands for Preliminary Design Review
PDR, or Preliminary Design Review, is a critical milestone in the engineering and product development process. It serves as an evaluative meeting conducted early in the project lifecycle to assess the proposed design concepts against requirements and objectives. During the PDR, stakeholders review preliminary designs, identify potential risks, and ensure that the project is on track to meet technical, budgetary, and scheduling guidelines. The outcomes of this review help inform decisions on design feasibility and set the stage for subsequent development phases.
