Goal/Output
Establish a business case; output: go/no-go decision — project may be cancelled if contribution is minor
Understand problem domain, establish architecture; output: requirements model, architectural description, development plan
System design, programming, and testing; output: working software system ready for delivery
Move system to user community; output: documented software system working in its operational environment
Correct Answer
(1) Inception,Establish a business case; output: go/no-go decision — project may be cancelled if contribution is minor
(2) Elaboration,Understand problem domain, establish architecture; output: requirements model, architectural description, development plan
(3) Construction,System design, programming, and testing; output: working software system ready for delivery
(4) Transition,Move system to user community; output: documented software system working in its operational environment
Explanation
Inception: establish a business case; project may be cancelled if contribution is minor. Elaboration: understand problem domain, establish architecture; outputs include UML use cases, architectural description, development plan. Construction: design, code, test; outputs a working deliverable system. Transition: move system to users; outputs a documented system working in its operational environment.
