A coherent set of requirements have been developed for the DTOceanPlus suite of design tools based on analysis of gaps between tools in mature industries and those in the ocean energy industry, learning from the original DTOcean project, and the stakeholder expectations identified in the user consultation exercise. The technical requirements in this document are translated from the general requirements for the overall suite of tools, and specific requirements (functional, operational, user, interfacing, and data) for the Stage Gate design tool that will be developed as part of this project.
This document, D4.1, includes a summary of the stage gate process and proposes a Stage Gate design tool as part of the DTOceanPlus suite of tools. A detailed description of the technical requirements of the tool is discussed in addition to the integration of the tool with the underlying platform, the other set of tools (Deployment tools, Assessment tools and Structured Innovation tools), and the digital representations.
