Product Evaluation, Product Migration, and Governance in Digital Projects

Abstract

A digital technology portfolio consists of various technologies. The key digital technologies are experience platforms/portals, content management systems, enterprise search systems, and business process management systems. Evaluating the right set of products and finalizing the most suitable product is an important exercise during the requirements elaboration phase of your digital project. This chapter proposes a sample production evaluation methodology for a digital product. While the exact set of evaluation criteria varies across products and technologies, the evaluation methodology can be reused. Digital project managers can reuse the methodology proposed in this chapter for product evaluation. We look at the details of comparing the enterprise search products.
