Concepts Recap

The IT4IT Standard defines seven value streams that manage the Digital Products. Information on the Digital Products is tracked through a set of interconnected data objects managed by functional components. These are the components at the center of delivering the digital management capabilities, as illustrated in The IT4IT Concepts and their Relationships.

Combining the value streams with the four high-level functional groups results in The IT4IT Value Streams. Combining the value streams with the eight sub-level functional groups results in The IT4IT Functional Groups, Value Streams, and Associated Digital Product and Service Offer Backbones. Combining the data objects with functional components and functional groups results in The IT4IT Level 1 Functional Diagram.
