• Exploration Phase analyzes market, business and technology
trends & opportunities which identify product solutions, which are
implementable and of clear added value.
• Planning Phase formalizes next level of detail including market
requirements, decision times, Product scope, usage, features,
technology integration, and POR.
• Development Phase implements requirements defined in Planning
Phase; its Milestones are synchronization points to quantify progress
toward goal.
• Refresh Phase constitutes further product revisions (or EOL) after
initial product launch; may include updates to software, hardware,
and other technologies.
