Hi all,
we attempt a first at this one, trying to test the TMF
communities as a brainstorming tool where a refined conclusion will be
drawn from on requirements regarding Products/Services/Resources
LIFECYCLE MANGAMENT (LM) in the context of Service Delivery Frameworks.
To facilitate this process, we have sliced up the LM requirements area
into four initial topics, namely,
1)
LM Process: aims to specify
the management process stages and within each stage the
activities/stakeholders/information/tools necessary to facilitate this
context
2)
Product/Service/Resource (P/S/R): aims to identify
P/S/Rmeta-data, P/S/R catalogs and related architectural issues,
lifecycle pattern meta-model and touchpoints in the LM process
etc.
3)
LM capabilities: aims to specify management capabilities
necessary to administer integration and to support the complex
dependencies between P/S/R throughout their lifecycle.
4)
Other related LM topics: aims to do what it says on the tin!!
Each topic above has a dedicated subfolder in the Lifecycle Management Forum. Hence, to enter a discussion of choice just issue your posts in the respective topic subfolder.
So good
luck to us and hope this becomes an enjoyable journey (and habit for the
future!!).
