Project Phases

Project work is done in phases and iterations. Each phase/iteration has to be presented to the teacher during consultations and has to be approved before continuation with the following phases/iterations. If a phase/iteration is not done to a satisfactory level, the team will be instructed to improve their work and present once again for approval.

Each project phase, iteration and milestone lists the names of the pages that document the respective types of activities in each phase. Create wiki pages in your project site that correspond to these names. As an Example: to document the activity ProjectVision, create a wiki page named ProjectVision.

Before starting the working on the project, the project idea must be proposed officially via the EPRMS and approved by the teacher. See StartingProjects.
