Fit/Gap Analysis
Problems and Solutions
Decisions based on the full range of internal and external opportunities is often not possible. Enterprise Architects offers solutions to collect all registered findings, and possibilities and derive the opportunities and possible fit/gap issues from them, so they can be presented to product management in their decision process on developing new products, and services.
Tools to support Product Lifecycle Management
The idea-to-planning solution used to support the decision making and planning can be used to support and register the product, service, and technological innovation:
|
Registering potential innovations, delivering opportunities for the already developed products, services and innovations in their context of the architecture and design continua, and support the decision making until initiatives become available for Information Planning; here the focus is specifically on integrating new innovation and developments and deciding whether the fit/gap is defined enough to distinguish the necessary Statement of Work to be performed and base a planning on that |
