Milestone: Lifecycle Architecture Milestone
At the end of the Elaboration phase is the second important project milestone, the Lifecycle Architecture Milestone.
Main Description

The Lifecycle Architecture Milestone is the second major project milestone. During iteration assessments in Elaboration, you should keep these evaluation criteria in mind [KRO03]:

  • Stability of Vision, requirements and Architecture.
  • Major risk elements addressed and resolved by testing and evaluating executable prototypes.
  • Construction iterations planned in sufficient detail and credibly estimated to allow the work to proceed.
  • Agreement of stakeholders that the current vision can be met if plans are executed to develop complete system on top of current architecture.
  • Resourse expenditures versus planned expenditures are acceptable.
