The Initial Operational Capability Milestone is the third major project milestone. During iteration assessments in Construction, you should keep these evaluation
criteria in mind [KRO03]:
-
Product release stable and mature enough to be deployed in the user community
-
-
the product is ready to be handed over to the users (beta)
-
all functionality has been developed and all alpha testing (if any) has been completed
-
in addition to the software, a user manual has been developed, and there is a description of the current
release
-
-
Actual resource expenditures versus planned expenditures are acceptable
In case the project fails to reach this milestone, an iteration can be added to Construction, thus postponing
Transition.
