TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A technology enterprise management apparatus, comprising:
- a processing resource arranged to support a stage and gateway process having a plurality of stages and a plurality of gateways interlaced with the plurality of stages, the processing resource also supporting a plurality of stage engineering module structures respectively associated with the plurality of stages, each of the stage engineering module structures supporting, at least in part, a function associated with the stage and gateway process; and
a database accessible by the processing resource and arranged to permit storage of data at least relating to the function;
whereinthe processing resource is arranged to monitor an assessment of the function at a stage of the stage and gateway process and to manage progression to a succeeding adjacent stage of the stage and gateway process in response to the assessment.

Abstract
A technology enterprise management apparatus comprises a processing resource (112, 114, 116, 118) arranged to support a stage and gateway process (400) having a plurality of stages (406, 412, 418, 424, 430, 436) and a plurality of gateways (402, 408, 414, 420, 426, 432, 438) interlaced with the plurality of stages. The processing resource also supports a plurality of stage engineering module structures (600) respectively associated with the plurality of stages, each of the stage engineering module structures (600) supporting, at least in part, a function (422, 444, 446, 448, 450, 452) associated with the stage and gateway process. A database (110) is accessible by the processing resource (118) and arranged to permit storage of data at least relating to the function. The processing resource is further arranged to monitor an assessment of the function at a stage of the stage and gateway process and to manage progression to a succeeding adjacent stage of the stage and gateway process in response to the assessment.
