What is the Definition phase of Enterprise Development?
Definition is the process of exploring, identifying, and defining enterprise needs, opportunities, and desired end-state. During this phase, operational and logistical requirements are investigated over the entire life cycle of the enterprise including its systems and expected capabilities. Risks, constraints, and alternatives are identified and analyzed. The outcomes of the Definition phase include deliverables such as the strategic vision, business needs document, systems requirements, realistic objectives, and preliminary architectual concept for both the enterprise and its products and services.
