ABSTRACT:
Computer implemented methods provide a unified framework for the creation, evaluation and selection of requests for funding, of proposed projects and of proposed products within an enterprise. Processes enable the systematic gathering of assumptions that form the basis for generating proposals and project or product scenarios based upon changes in the assumptions. The generated scenarios may be evaluated against predefined criteria and predefined strategic objectives for the enterprise.
