Incremental Delivery Model in the
Initiation Phase
General
The life cycle approach to be adopted during the rest of
the project should be considered in the Initiation phase.
The phase-neutral themes (depiction of the life cycle
approach with decision-making tools for supporting
selection) contain an overview and a description of the
models. A decision about the life cycle approach to be
used during the further course of the project can be made
as early as this phase if the preconditions are met.
Incremental delivery model
- First initiation
If a project is to be initiated for the first
time, all activities and results must take the
form set out here.
- Further initiations
If the decision to perform further initiations
for individual releases is made on a
project-specific basis or on the basis of the
business process, certain deviations from the
mandatory first initiation of the project may
occur in the activities and mandatory results set
out in the project or business process.
When does a new formal initiation need
to be performed?
It can therefore be useful, before developing each
release, to carry out a new formal initiation if long
periods have elapsed between successive releases or
new impulses are generated from the business process,
thereby enabling execution conditions, for example,
to be checked again. However, every effort should be
made to ensure the greatest possible continuity when
developing a new release.
