Model Lifecycle

A Model is a collection of products, features and requirements.

The Model lifecycle includes these states:

Preliminary

In the Preliminary state, a Product Manager defines the models of the product line. The Product Manager or System Engineer then promotes the model to the Marketing state.

Marketing

In the Marketing state, a Marketing Manager adds the marketing text, marketing name and attaches marketing images of the model. The Marketing Manager then promotes the model to the Review state.

Review

In the Review state, a Product Manager reviews the model and its structure before activating the model. The Product Manager then promotes the model to the Active state.

Active

In the Active state, a Product Manager activates the use of the model, making it available for placing orders against. When the company decides not to sell the model, the Product Manager promotes it to Inactive.

Inactive

In the Inactive state, a Product Manager inactivates the use of the model, making it not available for sale. If an inactive model is offered for sale again, the Product Manager can demote it back to Active.
