Requirements Analysis and Design - Inception Phase
Inception phase will analyze the business needs and requirement and would eventually be the foundation of the entire project. Essentially, this phase includes the following activities in general-
» Design/Develop a Business Case
» Analyze Business needs and document requirements
» Prioritize all functional and non-functional requirements.
» Risk Assessment
» High level project plan and timelines
» Design of a prototype
Software Architecture and Design - Elaboration Phase
Elaboration phase will complete the system design which may include high and low level design. Setting up of change and configuration management is a part of this phase. This includes
» High and Low level design
» Updating project plan and use case model
» Development of additional prototypes if necessary
» Development of Quality plan
» Risk management & Control
» Setup Code & Configuration Control Tool
Development of Solution/Service-Construction Phase
This phase is the longest phase of the development cycle which essentially builds the software based on the above two phases, it includes
» System development
» Integrating the application/solution with other enterprise servers (if in scope)
» Deploy and build components as per build plans- Conducting System & Integration
» Deploy the system in Test Environment
» Tune system performance and iterate measurements- Define RequirementTraceability
Transition or Deployment Phase
This phase forms the last phase of the whole development cycle which essentially includes -
» Execution of full system, performance, scalability Testing
» Performing final UAT- Addressing any post deployment issues like training, support .maintenance etc
» Evaluate ROI on the system developed
Post Deployment Maintenance
Post Deployment phase essentially deals with reviewing the system load and scalability issues, defect resolutions, on going defect management and reporting. |
