-00:00:00,175 --> 00:00:03,510

-Let's talk a little bit more about phases. The rational unified

-

-2

-00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:07,050

-process phases are fundamental aspects of this process and which just touched

-

-3

-00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:09,200

-on them so we just give a quick overview. And I want to

-

-4

-00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,010

-look at these phases in a little more detail. So, what I'm

-

-5

-00:00:12,010 --> 00:00:14,960

-going to do is, for each phase, I'm going to discuss what it is,

-

-6

-00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,310

-what it produces and how is the result of the phase suppose

-

-7

-00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:21,910

-to be,. Assessed, and what are the consequences of this assessment. So

-

-8

-00:00:21,910 --> 00:00:25,350

-let's start with the first phase, the inception phase. The first phase

-

-9

-00:00:25,350 --> 00:00:27,920

-goes from the idea of the product to the

-

-10

-00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,990

-vision of the end product. What this involves is basically

-

-11

-00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:34,230

-to delimiting the project scope. And making the business case

-

-12

-00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:37,040

-for the product presented. Why is it worth doing? What

-

-13

-00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,870

-are the success criteria? What are the main risks? What

-

-14

-00:00:39,870 --> 00:00:43,690

-resources will be needed? And so on, specifically these phases

-

-15

-00:00:43,690 --> 00:00:47,310

-answer three main questions. The first one is, what are

-

-16

-00:00:47,310 --> 00:00:51,330

-the major users or actors, to use the UML terminology.

-

-17

-00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:53,450

-And what will the system do for them? To

-

-18

-00:00:53,450 --> 00:00:56,780

-answer this, these phases produce a simplified use-case model where

-

-19

-00:00:56,780 --> 00:01:00,480

-only a few use-cases are represented and described. So this

-

-20

-00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,390

-is a sort of initial use-case model. The second question

-

-21

-00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:05,610

-is about the architecture, what could be an architecture

-

-22

-00:01:05,610 --> 00:01:08,370

-for the system? So in this phase we will normally

-

-23

-00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:12,420

-also develop a tentative architecture. So an initial architecture that

-

-24

-00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:16,540

-describes the most crucial subsystems. Finally this phase also answers

-

-25

-00:01:16,540 --> 00:01:18,890

-the question, what is the plan and how much

-

-26

-00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:21,620

-will it cost? To answer this question. This phase will

-

-27

-00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:24,930

-identify the main risks for the project and also produce

-

-28

-00:01:24,930 --> 00:01:28,600

-a rough plan with estimates for resources, initial planning for

-

-29

-00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,820

-the phases and dates and milestones. Specifically, the inception phase

-

-30

-00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:36,370

-generates several deliverables. It is very important that you pay

-

-31

-00:01:36,370 --> 00:01:39,600

-attention so that you understand what this deliberate approach are.

-

-32

-00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,320

-Starting from the first one, which is the vision document.

-

-33

-00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,800

-And this is a document that provides a general

-

-34

-00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,420

-vision of the core projects requirements, key features and main

-

-35

-00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:51,890

-constraints. Together with this, the inception phase also produces an

-

-36

-00:01:51,890 --> 00:01:54,900

-initial use case model, as I just mentioned. So this

-

-37

-00:01:54,900 --> 00:01:57,720

-is a use case model that includes an initial set

-

-38

-00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,670

-of use cases, and then will be later refined. Two

-

-39

-00:02:00,670 --> 00:02:04,300

-additional variables are the initial project glossary, which describes the

-

-40

-00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,330

-main terms, using the project and their meaning, and the

-

-41

-00:02:07,330 --> 00:02:10,229

-initial business case which includes business context. And

-

-42

-00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:13,470

-success criteria. Yet another deliverable for the inception phase

-

-43

-00:02:13,470 --> 00:02:15,770

-is the initial project plan, which shows the

-

-44

-00:02:15,770 --> 00:02:20,650

-phases, iterations, roles of the participants, schedule and initial

-

-45

-00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:23,610

-estimates. In addition, the inception phase also produces

-

-46

-00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:26,810

-a risk assessment document, which describes the main risks

-

-47

-00:02:26,810 --> 00:02:29,970

-and counters measures for this risk. Finally, and this

-

-48

-00:02:29,970 --> 00:02:32,430

-is an optional deliverable, in the sense that it,

-

-49

-00:02:32,430 --> 00:02:34,990

-it might or might not be produced, depending on the specific

-

-50

-00:02:34,990 --> 00:02:37,870

-project. As part of the inception phase we might also generate

-

-51

-00:02:37,870 --> 00:02:41,780

-1 or more prototypes. For example, we might develop prototypes to

-

-52

-00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:45,590

-address some specific risks that we have identified or to show some

-

-53

-00:02:45,590 --> 00:02:48,380

-specific aspect of the system of which we are unsure to

-

-54

-00:02:48,380 --> 00:02:51,910

-the stakeholders. So basically all the typical users of prototypes that

-

-55

-00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:54,600

-we discussed before. So when we're done with the inception phase

-

-56

-00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,300

-we hit the first milestone for the cycle we are currently performing.

-

-57

-00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:00,600

-And so there are some evaluation criteria that will tell

-

-58

-00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,640

-us whether we can consider the inception phase concluded or not.

-

-59

-00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:06,840

-And the first of this criteria is stakeholder concurrence, which

-

-60

-00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,510

-means that all the stakeholders must agree on the scope, definition,

-

-61

-00:03:10,510 --> 00:03:13,510

-and cost schedule estimates for the projects. The second criteria

-

-62

-00:03:13,510 --> 00:03:17,040

-needs requirements understanding, out of the initial primary use cases that

-

-63

-00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,380

-we have identified so far, the right one for our system.

-

-64

-00:03:20,380 --> 00:03:23,760

-And other criteria is the credibility of the cost schedule estimates,

-

-65

-00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,280

-the priorities, defined the risks identifies and the countermeasures for

-

-66

-00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,590

-those risks, and the development process that we're following. Finally, in

-

-67

-00:03:31,590 --> 00:03:34,000

-the case we produce prototypes as part of the inceptional

-

-68

-00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,520

-phase, this will also be evaluated and assessed to judge the

-

-69

-00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,960

-overall outcome of the phase. So what happens if the

-

-70

-00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,170

-project fails to pass this milestone? So if the outcome of

-

-71

-00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:46,020

-the inception phase is considered to be inadequate with respect

-

-72

-00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:48,642

-to one or more of these criteria. Well at this point,

-

-73

-00:03:48,642 --> 00:03:51,240

-since we're kind of an initial phase of the cycle

-

-74

-00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,370

-the project may be cancelled or considerably re-thought. So to

-

-75

-00:03:54,370 --> 00:03:57,610

-summarize all of these in one sentence the Inception Phase

-

-76

-00:03:57,610 --> 00:04:00,320

-is the phase in which we produce. Then you shall vision,

-

-77

-00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,750

-used case model, project plan, risk assessment and possibly, prototypes

-

-78

-00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:07,290

-for the project. And we have to make sure, that

-

-79

-00:04:07,290 --> 00:04:10,680

-all of this deliverables satisfy a set of criteria, so

-

-80

-00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,770

-that we can continue on the project. And otherwise, we'll either

-

-81

-00:04:13,770 --> 00:04:17,160

-cancel the project or rethink its scope, or other aspects of it.
