Abstract
At the dawn of the third millennium, the world is witnessing revolutionary breakthroughs in technology to enhance the standard of human living. This has led to a heightened demand for technologically superior products with high quality. The industry has responded to this challenge with a relentless pursuit towards perfection. But this never ending struggle to exceed the buyer´s expectations has put an ever increasing pressure on project managers to shorten development cycles without compromising on quality. The key to success lies in enabling a seamless flow of information across diverse groups and fostering better insight into the multivariate business objectives prevalent today. An example is presented along with an implemented solution
