Object Life Concept
Object life represents development of a component of your repository as it is really planned following analyses carried out.
The life of an object is a set of time periods representing the real calendar of object states.To represent another development scenario, without impacting what exists, you will associate initiatives with objects of your portfolio. The life of each initiative enables representation of different development scenarios for all objects.
To enable detailed analysis of portfolio development scenarios and the associated costs, HOPEX Portfolio & Planning enables description, from an object life, of the planning of steps in the object life cycle.
