TECHNIQUES FOR SHARING RESOURCES ACROSS MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT PROJECT LIFECYCLES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- selectively sharing first resources associated with one or more first stages of a first project with one or more second stages of a second project, wherein the first stages are associated with a first project lifecycle of the first project and the second stages are associated with a second project lifecycle of the second project and each of the projects are managed independent of one another;
managing the sharing of the first resources via interdependencies defined for tying some aspects of the first project lifecycle with other aspects of the second project lifecycle; and
enforcing policy to drive the management of the interdependencies.

Abstract
Techniques for sharing resources across multiple independent projects are provided. Resources, which are associated with a first project and which are managed within first stages of a first project lifecycle, are selectively shared and managed within second stages of a second project lifecycle, which is associated with a second project. The first and second project lifecycles are separately and independently managed from one another.

8. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a dependency definition for a first resource associated with a first stage of a first project lifecycle as it relates to a second stage of a second project lifecycle, wherein the first project lifecycle is for a first project that is independently managed from that of a second project, which is associated with the second project lifecycle; acquiring policy to enforce the dependency definition for purposes of sharing the first resource in the first stage of the first project lifecycle within the second stage of the second project lifecycle; and dynamically managing the transitioning and sharing of the first resource between the first project lifecycle and the second project lifecycle in response to the policy enforcement. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system, comprising:
-
a first project lifecycle management service implemented in a machine-accessible and readable medium and to process on a machine; a second project lifecycle management service implemented in a machine-accessible and readable medium and to process on a machine; and a third project lifecycle management service implemented in a machine-accessible and readable medium and to process on a machine, wherein the first project lifecycle management service is to manage a first project lifecycle of first resources associated with a first project, and the second project lifecycle management service is to independently manage a second project lifecycle of second resources associated with a second project of the second project lifecycle, selective ones of the first resources and the second resources between the first and second project lifecycles. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system, comprising:
-
a meta schema definition for an integrated project, wherein the meta schema definition is implemented in a machine-accessible and readable medium and is accessible to one or more machines; and an integrated project lifecycle management service implemented in a machine-accessible and readable medium and to process on the one or more machines, wherein the integrated project lifecycle management service uses the meta schema definition to acquire dependencies between two independent projects and their lifecycles for purposes of managing the sharing of resources between the two independent projects during the course of their lifecycles. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
