Performing the tasks of Stage 1.6 creates a shared-data, generalized, life cycle management system for all enterprise resource requirements that adds to the functionality of the previous phases. This life cycle management system manages requirements from initial conception, through resourcing and development, through operation and maintenance, to revalidation.
This phase then allows enterprise executives and functional decision makers to assess the enterprise as a whole for purposes of strategic, control, and operational planning and overall enterprise management. This phase completes the development of an enterprise management environment, the baseline DEM.
