This process group covers the oversight layer that steers product and service development across the organisation. It takes in the portfolio view, where existing offers are weighed against market openings, concepts are checked against strategy, candidates are ranked, and cost, quality and timing targets are set. It then follows each offering through its life cycle, from the launch plan and introduction to retirement, with performance indicators defined and a structured review after launch that looks at market take-up, supply chain and distribution effectiveness, quality, financial results, and how well the development process itself worked. It also holds the intellectual property and regulatory side, covering patent and copyright reviews and needs, infringement checks, technical documentation rules, and the training, records and submission handling that regulators expect. Finally it covers the master data describing what the organisation makes, including materials lists, bills of material, routings, specifications, drawings, classification, inspection documents and traceability, with controlled access to that data.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
