    Typical Phase by Phase Activities&#xD;
&lt;/h3>&#xD;
&lt;h4>&#xD;
    Pre-Project&#xD;
&lt;/h4>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Although DSDM has a formal pre-project phase, OpenUP does not. Nevertheless, there are important activities that need&#xD;
    to be undertaken before a project can be started. The Executive Sponsor is key in ensuring that these are completed.&#xD;
    You can use this extract from DSDM as a form of checklist for starting Inception.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Determine the need for the project and that is in line with the business strategy.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Allocate someone to the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../dsdm_openup/roles/visionary.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_hQJ-QFkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA&quot;>Visionary&lt;/a> role for the duration of the project.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Obtain initial funding for the Inception Phase.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Agree the approach to project governance with the relevant parts of the organisation.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Commit the necessary business resources to the Inception Phase, e.g. especially &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../dsdm_openup/roles/ambassador_user.html&quot; guid=&quot;_ctbZ8FkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA&quot;>Ambassador User&lt;/a> and&#xD;
        &lt;u>&lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../dsdm_openup/roles/advisor_user.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_avOA0FkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA&quot;>Advisor User&lt;/a>&lt;/u>(s)&amp;nbsp;as requested by the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../openup_basic/roles/project_manager.html&quot; guid=&quot;_0a0o0MlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw&quot;>Project Manager&lt;/a>.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Ensure that planning, co-ordination and management responsibilities for both the IT/IS project and any associated&#xD;
        business change are clearly assigned to the relevant people.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;h4>&#xD;
    Inception Phase&#xD;
&lt;/h4>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Monitor project governance.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Respond to issues escalated by the Visionary.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Review/approve the &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../openup_basic/workproducts/risk_list.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_Ckay8Cc_EduIsqH1Q6ZuqA&quot;>Risk List&lt;/a>.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Review/accept the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../openup_basic/workproducts/project_plan.html&quot;&#xD;
        guid=&quot;_0a6vcMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw&quot;>Project Plan&lt;/a> (or not: the project can stop here if no viable solution is&#xD;
        possible).&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Commit the necessary business resources to the&amp;nbsp;next phase&amp;nbsp;of the project.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;h4>&#xD;
    Elaboration Phase&#xD;
&lt;/h4>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Monitor project governance.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Respond to issues escalated by the Visionary.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Review/approve the Risk List.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Approve the Business Case for the project to proceed beyond the&amp;nbsp;Elaboration Phase&amp;nbsp;and obtain funding as&#xD;
        necessary.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Review/agree the&amp;nbsp;Project Plan (or not).&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        This is a major go/no go decision point in the project.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Commit the necessary business resources to the rest of the project.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;h4>&#xD;
    Construction Phase&#xD;
&lt;/h4>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Monitor project governance.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Respond to issues escalated by the Visionary.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Review/approve the Risk List.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Monitor project governance.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Review/agree the&amp;nbsp;Project Plan (or not).&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Commit the necessary business resources to the rest of the project.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;h4>&#xD;
    Transition Phase&#xD;
&lt;/h4>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Monitor project governance.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Respond to issues escalated by the Visionary.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Review/approve the Risk&amp;nbsp;List.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Sign off the delivered system.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Determine whether or not the project is to deliver another increment or stop now.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;h4>&#xD;
    Post-Project&#xD;
&lt;/h4>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    This occurs after the final Transition iteration.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Ensure that the Post-Project Review is run if appropriate to the size of project - especially to prove that the&#xD;
        Business Case has been achieved.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul></mainDescription>
