I was after some feedback on how far the CMDB concept has been adopted in the earlier stages of the product/system/programe/project lifecycle, i.e. between the initial Bid Stage, through Requirements, Analysis, Design, Development, Integration, Test, to say into a definitive media library (DML or DSL) prior to delivery to the Operational environment.
I would like to know whether there are any organisations out there trying to implement this and if so on which tools and perhaps how far/well this has been achieved.
I am not interested at the moment in knowing what is happening in the operational phases of the lifecycle because I know there is CMDB coverage there.
