Product lifecycles
The digital artefacts that we create all have a specified lifecycle.
They are created, edited, shared, managed, reviewed, archived, deleted or recycled.
Knowing how this works in each case is essential for blueprinting, implementing and operating.
These pages provide an overview. For more information, see the Academic Technology Guides.
