The document describes the Technology, Engineering, Architecture, Management (TEAM) methodology, which is a commercially licensed variant of the General Enterprise Management methodology. TEAM uses model-driven techniques to support enterprise architecture, engineering, and management activities across the organization. These include enterprise modeling, functional inventory, reference architecture development, strategic management, quality assurance, and performance tracking. The methodology is mapped to various customer requirements and regulatory frameworks.
