UNICOM Focal Point is a decision analysis tool used by the product organizations of corporations and government agencies to collect information and feedback from internal and external stakeholders on the value of applications and technologies and their features, prioritize on which ones will provide the most value to the business, and manage the roadmap of how improved products will be fielded or removed from market or organization. == Overview == UNICOM Focal Point is used for: * Project Portfolio Management—gathering information on projects across the organisation, what are the benefits, costs, risks associated with the projects. The tool enables entry of all data based on roles, and workflow so it can be tailored to specific needs in terms of maturity and priority. It is done at a fairly high level. If very detailed analysis is needed the tool can be integrated to other tools for such purpose. The tool also supports resource management at a high level, as well as requirements management at a high level. Generally characterized by easy modification rather than advanced best practice. * Product management—making decisions on what features to put in a product, based on customer priorities, competitor functionality, and market conditions. Furthermore, understanding the value of applications that an organization is building, marketing, and selling, and deciding on which to invest in and which to retire. An independent survey on Linked In ranked Focal Point as the best Product Management tool. * Application Portfolio Management—understanding what applications are deployed in an organization and their value; which to invest in and which to retire. Gartner's most recent Enterprise Architecture Magic Quadrant lists the combination of IBM System Architect and Focal Point as Leaders amongst toolsets used for enterprise architecture and application portfolio management. * IT portfolio management—understanding what applications and systems are deployed in an organization and their value; which to invest in and which to retire. * Product Delivery Management—understanding the resources and schedule of what needs to happen in getting a product to market. For those organizations that need more advanced features and have a high level of detail, Focal Point can be used in combination with a variety of tools, such as Rational Team Concert, Rational System Architect, Rational Requirements Composer or Planview, Inc's Planview Enterprise. UNICOM Focal Point stores information in a database and provides multiple ways to input information, including a web-based portal to allow end-users from across an organization, and external customers from all over the world, to input information into the database. Information is then analyzed with a variety of dashboard charts to make prioritization decisions and manage roadmaps of project and product delivery and scheduling. Open Services Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) integrations enable the end user to amalgamate information and capabilities in Focal Point with other OSLC-enabled tools. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unicom Focal Point」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
