What is the Design phase of Enterprise Development?
The Design Phase builds on the outcomes of the definition phase. Challenges are identified and prioritized. Each challenge is explored for possible alternative solutions. Requirements are refined and decisions are made as to specific outcomes, metrics to measure progress, quality standards, critical milestone points, resource utilization and expenditures, and strategies to achieve desired objectives. The client always chooses among viable alternative design approaches to be implemented. Design synthesis is focused on defining: (1) enterprise strategies, (2) organizational structures (3) products and services, and (4) value stream processes.
