Imagine trying to run a restaurant business without a comprehensive detailed view of the company’s menu, referred to as its products and services. It would be difficult to know what the chef(s) in the kitchen is able to prepare to meet customer’s hunger needs, and also equally difficult to know the elements and support resources needed to prepare a product.
