I'm working with CIS (CASE Integration Services, a heterogeneous group
of software vendors, hardware vendors and users) which is focussed on
generalized integration technologies for software development.

A part of the requirements working group (RWG) effort is looking at scenario
analysis.  In simple terms, the question is, "if we had one of these
sophisticated environments, what would we do with it?"

Could anyone interested please post or e-mail me your ideas on
SPECIFIC SCENARIOS of activities that a fully integrated, 
object-oriented, distributed, heterogeneous, cradle to grave,
etc, etc, software development environment would be employed in?

In other words, if you had the "ideal" SDE, as a developer, project mgr.
R&D mgr., CEO, etc., what PRECISELY would you do with it?

Eg.--> R&D mgr comes in on Monday morning and queries as to source
object changes which occured over the weekend.  Notes that "Chainsaw"
Jane the notorious hacker has altered 112 source code objects in the
new missle launch control system which is on its way to final test
this week.  R&D mgr. then uses system to evaluate net worth of all
stocks and options, cashes out automatically, pulls up the resignation
letter she already has written and e-mails it to the appropriate people...

Anyway, you get the idea.  I'm looking for good, tough but reasonable
scenarios.  Thanks for any help!
