  <mainDescription>&lt;p&gt;
    This working version of the system is the result of putting the implementation of the system through a build process
    (typically an automated build script) that creates an executable version of the system, or one that runs.&amp;nbsp; This
    executable version of the system will typically have a number of supporting files that are also considered part of this
    composite artifact.
&lt;/p&gt;</mainDescription>
  <keyConsiderations>&lt;p&gt;
    In an iterative lifecycle, each build must evolve from the previous iteration's build, adding more functionality and
    improving quality.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    The purpose of early builds that minimize or eliminate a risk or verify architectural decisions is to achieve
    consistently stable builds in later iterations.
&lt;/p&gt;</keyConsiderations>
  <purpose>Deliver incremental value to the user and customer, and provide a testable artifact for verification.</purpose>
  <reasonsForNotNeeding>&lt;p&gt;
    There will always need to be an&amp;nbsp;operational version of the system.
&lt;/p&gt;</reasonsForNotNeeding>
  <representationOptions>&lt;p&gt;
    This work product is&amp;nbsp;almost always a composite product made up of numerous parts required to make the executable
    system. Therefore a build is more than just executable files; it additionally includes such things as configuration
    files, help files, and data repositories that will be put together resulting in the product that will be run by the
    users. The specifics of those parts will vary by technology in use.
