| Artifact: Product Lifecycle Diagram |
| |
Description
| Main Description | The purpose of the Product Lifecycle diagram is to assist in understanding the lifecycles of key entities within the
enterprise. Understanding product lifecycles is becoming increasingly important with respect to environmental concerns,
legislation, and regulation where products must be tracked from manufacture to disposal. Equally, organizations that create
products that involve personal or sensitive information must have a detailed understanding of the product lifecycle during
the development of Business Architecture in order to ensure rigor in design of controls, processes, and procedures.
Examples of this would include credit cards, debit cards, store/loyalty cards, smart cards, user identity credentials
(identity cards, passports, etc.). |
