Description

Most activities during a typical iteration in Elaboration phase happen in parallel. Essentially, the main objectives for Elaboration are related to better understanding the requirements, creating and establishing a baseline of the architecture for the system, and mitigating top-priority risks.

Properties

Event Driven
Multiple Occurrences
Ongoing
Optional
Planned
Repeatable

Alternatives

There will be iterations when projects risks are being addressed by creating software, but they may not be architecturally significant. In this case, Capability Pattern: Develop Solution Increment will be performed outside the context of the architecture. For the most part, Develop Solution will be performed in the context of Capability Pattern: Develop the Architecture during the Elaboration phase.
