Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and related system for assisting and expediting an organization production of a more mature product. The method and system may include implementation of processes using a combination of both electronic hardware and software and implementation locally or over a network such as an intranet or the Internet. In another embodiment, the method may be implemented using a document management system to administer files related to the steps in the method. These files may assist a user in the creation of required documentation. A document management tool may be integrated with the document management system to associate documentation with steps in the method. A navigator tool may be employed to create a graphical display of the steps in the method using data contained in the files. Another embodiment of the present invention uses WebDAV-based communication to coordinate access to multiple document repositories.

16. A method for developing a software product, comprising:
-
managing, on a computer, a business solution delivery comprising delivery of a business solution comprising a software product developed by a software development project, the managing the business solution delivery comprising; determining a technology infrastructure to support the business solution based on performance requirements of the business solution; identifying performance indicators; setting target values for the performance indicators; and assessing the ability of the existing technology infrastructure to support the identified technology infrastructure requirements based on actual values and target values of the performance indicators; and developing the technology infrastructure in coordination with developing the business solution, the developing the technology infrastructure comprising; identifying architecture components based on actual values and target values of the performance indicators wherein the architecture components include at least one of reused architecture components from legacy products, packaged architecture components, or custom architecture components; creating documentation and test plans for the components including creating metrics for the performance indicators; and transforming the metrics in a logical relational database, the logical relational database having at least one table that includes at least one of keys, codes tables, integrity rules, or statistical data; and deploying the developed software product in coordination with deploying the developed technology infrastructure and the developed business solution; and providing to a user, access to a data management system for administering and storing one or more files associated with at least one step in the business solution delivery, the developing the technology infrastructure, or the deploying the developed software product. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
