 |
| The purpose in this phase is to complete the development of the system based upon the baselined architecture.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p> There are objectives for the Construction phase that help us to&nbsp;have 
 |
| cost-efficient development of a complete product -- an operational version of 
 |
| your system -- that can be deployed&nbsp;in the user community&nbsp;<a class="elementlinkwithusertext" href="./../../../core.mgmt.common.base/guidances/supportingmaterials/references.mgmt_D80619F3.html#KRO03" guid="_JlTPUM6aEdyuBO4ZIzcyig">[KRO03]</a>: 
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ol>
 |
| 
 |
| <li> Iteratively develop a complete product that is ready to transition to its 
 |
| user community. Describe remaining requirements, fill in design details, complete 
 |
| the implementation, and test the software. Release the first operational version 
 |
| (beta) of the system and determine whether users are ready for the application 
 |
| to be deployed. </li>
 |
| 
 |
| <li> Minimize development costs and achieve some degree of parallelism. 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. </li>
 |
| </ol>
 |
| <h4>
 |
| Key considerations
 |
| </h4>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Typically, the Construction phase has more iterations (two to four) than the other phases, depending on the types of
 |
| projects:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| 
 |
| <li> <b>Simple project: </b>One iteration to build the product (to a beta release) 
 |
| </li>
 |
| 
 |
| <li><b> More substantial project: </b>One iteration to expose a partial system 
 |
| and one to mature it to beta testing </li>
 |
| <li><b> Large project: </b>Three or more iterations, depending upon the size 
 |
| of the project (number of requirements to implement for a beta release) </li>
 |
| </ul></mainDescription> |
