Emerging trends lifecycle management
View Patent ↗A process (and corresponding system) that defines sequential steps for the introduction, validation, and testing of business applications of emerging technologies, for example mobile banking services, is provided. The innovation provides a definable model and process for rapid innovation with a quality emphasis through efficient pipeline management and performance measurements. For example, the innovation can adhere to an enterprise's e-commerce requirements for a formalized and measurable structure to efficiently and diligently manage new ideas that have the potential to become new products and services that positively impact business.
1. A computer-implemented method of managing a lifecycle of an application, comprising:
receiving at a processor an idea wherein the idea relates to one of a generation or modification of the application;
analyzing, by the processor, the idea based upon a set of metrics;
establishing a scoreboard based upon the analysis to quantify the idea; and
determining a viability of the idea based upon the scoreboard,
wherein the scoreboard includes a strategic value component, a business value component, an innovation score component, a complexity component and an execution velocity component that quantifies the idea based upon at least one of a policy, preference, threshold or benchmark.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the idea relates to at least one of an e-commerce, online or mobile banking service.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising categorizing the idea with a plurality of previously captured ideas.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the act of analyzing the idea comprises performing a high-level analysis that determines a benefit of the idea to an enterprise.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the act of analyzing the idea comprises performing a detailed analysis that employs the set of metrics to establish at least one of value or usability to an enterprise.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a prototype of the idea, wherein the prototype promotes the idea.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the prototype is a functional prototype.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the prototype is a visual prototype.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the idea is captured and tracked by way of a wild-style interface.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of metrics includes a measurement of a financial perspective, a customer perspective and an operational perspective.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein a financial perspective is measured as a function of return on investment (ROD.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein a customer perspective is measured as a function of completion index.
13. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein an operational perspective is measured as a function of proof-of-business value velocity (PoBV).
