 |
| The purpose in this phase is to cost-effectively develop a feature-complete product (an operational version of your
 |
| system) that can be deployed in the user community <a class="elementlinkwithusertext" href="./../../../openup/guidances/supportingmaterials/references_6CCF393.html#KRO03" guid="_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg">[KRO03]</a>.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| The following objectives for the Construction phase help you accomplish that goal:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ol>
 |
| <li>
 |
| <p>
 |
| <b>Iteratively develop a complete product that is ready to transition to its user community</b>.
 |
| Describe the remaining requirements, fill in design details, complete the implementation, and test the software.
 |
| Release incremental alpha and beta version of the system, and determine if users are ready for the application to be
 |
| deployed. Further tuning and preparation for final deployment is expected in the <a class="elementLink" href="./../../../openup/guidances/concepts/transition_phase_DD5986E5.html" guid="__ca5UBOMEduCNqgZdt_OaA">Transition Phase</a>. 
 |
| </p>
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| <p>
 |
| <b>Minimize development costs and achieve some degree of parallelism</b>. Optimize resources and
 |
| leverage development parallelism between developers or teams of developers by, for example, assigning
 |
| components that can be developed independently of one another.
 |
| </p>
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ol>
 |
| <h4>
 |
| Key considerations

 |
| <p>
 |
| Typically, the Construction phase has more iterations (two or more) than the other phases.
