| The&nbsp;Risk-Value Lifecycle&nbsp;practice&nbsp;supplements the Iterative Development&nbsp;and Two-Level Planning
 |
| Practices with the Unified Process Lifecycle.&nbsp; This lifecycle identifies four phases, each of which attempts to
 |
| balance value provided against risk mitigation appropriate to the phase.&nbsp;[***.......TO BE COMPLETED ***]

 |
| <h3>
 |
| The Essence of the Risk-Value Lifecycle
 |
| </h3>
 |
| <p>
 |
| The following capture the key principles of Risk-Value Lifecycle:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| <strong>Inception Phase</strong> focuses on identifying the objectives of the project and mitigating risks
 |
| associated with this goal.
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| <strong>Elaboration Phase</strong> focuses on solidifying the architecture for the system being built and mitigaing
 |
| risks associated with this goal.&nbsp; Production of executable examples of the most risky elements of the
 |
| architecture is included.
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| <strong>Construction Phase&nbsp;</strong>focuses on actually building the system, culminating in the first
 |
| beta-level versions of the entire system.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| <strong>Transition Phase</strong> focuses on incorporating feedback from early customer evaluations of the system
 |
| and preparing the entire system for final product release, including end-user materials and distribution.
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>
