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.

Usage Notes

This capability pattern can be used to quickly construct an Elaboration phase iteration in a delivery process.  Copy or extend the pattern repeatedly to create as many iterations as necessary for the particular delivery process.  Be sure to copy or extend the entire pattern, so you will also get the activity diagram for the iteration.
