Capability Pattern: Elaboration Iteration
This is an example Elaboration Phase iteration. It includes the activities typically performed during a single iteration in the elaboration phase. The goal of the elaboration phase is to baseline the architecture of the system to provide a stable basis for the bulk of the design and implementation effort in the construction phase. The architecture evolves out of a consideration of the most significant requirements (those that have a great impact on the architecture of the system) and an assessment of risk. The stability of the architecture is evaluated through one or more architectural prototypes.
