Abstract: Method and tools for creating and evaluating a set of system blueprints pertaining to the delivery of a system or a project. Each blueprint is an architecture design/specification that enables analysis of each blueprint, families of blueprints and relationships between blueprint layers. A user can create various system blueprints based on data from existing databases containing requirements, solutions, and deployments of a system or project. After creating each blueprint, users may view the blueprint to visually detect problems and further revise the blueprint. In addition, for each type of blueprint, the user can evaluate the blueprint against various metrics and criteria related to requirements, solutions, and deployments and view the evaluation results.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and tools for managing requirements, solutions, and deployments of a project. The invention provides for the creation of a portfolio of data pertaining to requirements, solutions, and deployments for the project. The relationships and dependencies between the data are mapped, and the portfolio of data and the mapping of the data are displayed in a graphical format. The portfolio of data can be queried to determine the relationships and dependencies between the data.
