    The purpose in this phase is to ensure that the software is ready for delivery to users.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    There are objectives for the Transition phase that help you to&amp;nbsp;fine-tune functionality, performance, and overall
    quality of the beta product from the end of&amp;nbsp;the previous phase &lt;a class=&quot;elementlinkwithusertext&quot; href=&quot;./../../../openup_basic/guidances/supportingmaterials/references,_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg.html&quot; guid=&quot;_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg&quot;&gt;[KRO03]&lt;/a&gt;:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;
            &lt;strong&gt;Beta test to validate that user expectations are met.&lt;/strong&gt; This typically requires some fine-tuning
            activities, such as bug-fixing and making enhancements for performance and usability.
        &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;
            &lt;strong&gt;Achieve stakeholder concurrence that deployment is complete.&lt;/strong&gt; This may involve various levels
            of tests for product acceptance, including formal and informal tests and beta tests.
        &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
        &lt;p&gt;
            &lt;strong&gt;Improve future project performance through lessons learned.&lt;/strong&gt; Document lessons learned and
            improve the process and tool environment for the project.
        &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

    The following table summarizes the&amp;nbsp;Transition phase objectives and&amp;nbsp;what activities address each objective:

&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
    Key considerations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    The Transition phase can include running old and new systems in parallel, migrating data, training users, and adjusting
    business processes.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    The number of iterations in the Transition phase varies from one iteration for a simple system requiring primarily
    minor bug fixing, to many iterations for a complex system, involving addition of features and performing activities to
    make the business transition from using the old system to using the new system.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    When the Transition phase objectives are met, the project is in position to be closed.&amp;nbsp;For some products, the end
    of the current project lifecycle may coincide with the beginning of the next lifecycle, leading to the next generation
    of the same product.
