Envisioning Phase

At the end of Envisioning Phase, the project team and the customer have agreed on the overall direction for the project, as well as which features the solution will and will not include, and a general timetable for delivery.

Planning Phase

At the end of Project Planning Phase, the project team and key project stakeholders agree that interim milestones have been met, that due dates are realistic, that project roles and responsibilities are well defined, and that mechanisms are in place for addressing areas of project risk. The functional specifications, master project plan, and master project schedule provide the basis for making future trade-off decisions.

Developing Phase

During the developing phase the team accomplishes most of the building of solution components (documentation as well as code). However, some development work may continue into the stabilization phase in response to testing.

At the end of Development Phase, all features are complete and the solution is ready for external testing and stabilization.

Stabilizing Phase

The stabilizing phase conducts testing on a solution whose features are complete. Testing during this phase emphasizes usage and operation under realistic environmental conditions. The team focuses on resolving and triaging (prioritizing) bugs and preparing the solution for release.

The end of Stabilizing Phase occurs at the point when the team has addressed all outstanding issues and has released the solution or placed it in service.
