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