Project Life Cycle Slide Objective To explain the purpose of the section and what it covers " Life Cycle Models " MSF Process Model for Application Development " This Course and the MSF Process Model In this section In this section In this section, you will learn about the types of project life cycle models and their benefits You will then learn the primary characteristics of the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) Process Model for Application Development Although a complete explanation of the MSF Process Model is beyond the scope of this course, this section provides a brief introduction to help you develop a context for the information and skills covered in this course Module 1: Course Overview 25 Life Cycle Models Slide Objective To explain the purpose of a life cycle model and introduce some of the models currently in use " Establish the order for project activities " Two models are popular $ $ " Waterfall Model Spiral Model (or Rapid Application Development Model) MSF Process Model combines the benefits of both A project life cycle model describes the activities that take place during an application project and defines the order of those activities The model gives all team members a shared plan for how to proceed, helps focus team activities, and provides an overall structure for the project Two popular models are the Waterfall Model and Spiral Model The Waterfall Model consists of distinct phases, each of which is typically completed before moving on to the next phase The Spiral Model consists of multiple iterations of the same phases, with the detail of work increasing with each iteration The MSF Process Model combines the benefits of both these models 26 Module 1: Course Overview MSF Process Model for Application Development Slide Objective To describe the four phases and the four major milestones of the MSF Process Model " Microsoft’s recommended project life cycle model " Phase-based " Release Milestonedriven " Flexible and iterative Lead-in The MSF Process Model consists of four distinct phases Each phase culminates in an externally visible milestone These major milestones are points when all team members synchronize their deliverables Delivery Tip Point out that in addition to the standard major milestones, each project also has its own unique interim milestones The model is conceptual, so it does not assign times to each phase Each phase and major milestone will be examined in more detail in later modules Scope Complete Vision Approved Project Plan Approved Microsoft advocates the MSF Process Model for Application Development as the recommended project life cycle model for business-solution software development projects The MSF Process Model is phase based, meaning that each project is broken into distinct phases so that the team and key stakeholders understand where the project is in the life cycle and what key tasks are being accomplished The MSF Process Model is milestone driven, meaning that each phase culminates with a deliverable-based milestone that marks the team’s progress This milestone creates a point of transition, synchronizes the project team and customer, and allows for review and possible corrective action The MSF Process Model’s phases are as follows: " The Envisioning Phase is the period during which the team and customer define the business requirements and overall goals of the project The Envisioning Phase culminates in the Vision Approved Milestone, indicating that the team and customer agree on project direction " The Planning Phase is the period during which the team and the customer define what will be built, as well as how and when it will be built The Planning Phase culminates in the Project Plan Approved Milestone, indicating that the team, customer, and key stakeholders agree on what will be delivered and when " The Developing Phase is the period during which the team accomplishes all building (of code and documentation) The Developing Phase culminates in the Scope Complete Milestone, indicating that all features are complete and that the product is ready for external testing and stabilization " The Stabilizing Phase is the period during which team efforts are directed at addressing all known issues (from code defects to mismanaged expectations) No new development occurs during this phase The Stabilizing Phase culminates in the Release Milestone, at which point responsibility for the product shifts to the operations team Module 1: Course Overview This Course and the MSF Process Model Slide Objective To explain which phase of the MSF Process Model will be covered in the course Release " Covers most of the Planning Phase " Leads into the Project Plan Approved Milestone " Course 1585 introduces the Envisioning Phase Lead-in This course focuses on the MSF Process Model’s Planning Phase Scope Complete Vision Approved Project Plan Approved Course 1608 This course focuses on the Planning Phase of the MSF Process Model During the Planning Phase, you will develop conceptual, logical, and physical designs for a business solution that meets business and user requirements Another course in the Business Solutions Design Curriculum, Gathering and Analyzing Business Requirements (1585), focuses on the Envisioning Phase of the MSF Process Model In that course, you learn how to gather and analyze business requirements and present the results in a document that will later evolve into the project’s vision document 27 28 Module 1: Course Overview Looking Forward Slide Objective To provide
