   (Documents below may require viewer software)

Task:  Perform Development Cycle Review
Phase:  System Development and Demonstration
Activity:  System Development (Develop), (Purchase/Customize/Integrate)
Process Area:  Software Product Engineering
Management Responsibility:  Development Integrated Product Team Leader
Task Level:  Application


1.  Task Name:  Perform Development Cycle Review

2.  Purpose:  After the design portion of each rapid application development cycle, the system requirements, software requirements, and the software and database designs are reviewed for completeness, consistency, and adequacy.  The documents reviewed compose an allocated baseline.  If the review determines that all release requirements are satisfactorily addressed in the designs, then the remainder of the development cycle is completed and the remaining tasks in this activity which prepare the release for system testing are performed.  If the review determines that all release requirements have not been satisfactorily addressed by the designs, the development cycle is completed and another is begun.  After requirements are changed or expanded, and the next cycle's design procedures are performed, the next version of the allocated baseline documents will be produced and this review will be repeated.  This review thus provides the opportunity to determine whether the design is ready to move to system testing and implementation after each cycle in rapid application development.
