Abstract: Techniques for assessing information technology packages by comparing a package (including a package still under development) to a set of criteria. Each of the criteria may have one or more attributes, and may be different in priority from one another. In preferred embodiments, an assessment score is created as a result of the comparison. A role-specific perspective may be used for assessing one or more roles supported by aspects of the package. When necessary, a set of recommendations for package changes may be created. The criteria/attributes may be prioritized in view of their importance to the target market, and the assessment results are preferably provided to package teams to influence planning and/or development efforts. Optionally, the assessment process may be used to determine whether at least some predetermined assessment score associated with a special designation has been achieved by the assessed package or aspect(s) thereof.
