Prototyping 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.
Prototyping
The prototyping in the Initiation phase does not differ
at this stage from the "standard" waterfall
model. As in the waterfall model, all activities and
results of the Initiation phase therefore need to be
dealt with in the form set out here.
