Perform Interface Management (User Story)

Perform Interface Management

Purpose:

Selected interfaces are managed.

Objective:

<?>

Description:

Many integration and transition problems arise from unknown or uncontrolled aspects of both internal and external interfaces. Effective management of interface requirements, specifications, and designs helps to ensure that implemented interfaces are complete and compatible.

The supplier is responsible for managing the interfaces of the product or service it is developing. However, the acquirer identifies interfaces that it will manage as well (particularly external interfaces).

Inputs:

  • <?>

Outputs:

  •  

Controls:

<?>
