Milestone: Initial Operational Capability Milestone
The end of Construction phase is the third important project milestone, the Initial Operational Capability Milestone.
Main Description

The Initial Operational Capability Milestone is the third major project milestone. During iteration assessments in Construction, keep these evaluation criteria in mind [KRO03]:

  • Product release is stable and mature enough to be deployed in the user community.
    • The beta product is ready to be handed over to the users.
    • All functionality has been developed and all alpha testing (if any) has been completed.
    • In addition to the software, a user manual has been developed, and there is a description of the current release.
  • Actual resource expenditures compared to planned expenditures are acceptable.

Note:

In case the project fails to reach this milestone, an iteration can be added to Construction, thus postponing Transition.
