The elaboration phase of a software project involves capturing system requirements, baselining the architecture, and putting processes and standards in place. An interdisciplinary team elaborates the idea through iterative development of use cases, class diagrams, and package diagrams. The primary goals are to define objectives set in earlier phases, address risks, establish the system architecture, and validate the architecture.

2. Elaboration Phase
O The project team is expected to capture a
healthy majority of the system requirements
O The goal of this phase is to baseline the
architecture
O To ensure that the critical tools, processes,
standards, and guidelines have been put in
place for the Construction phase

3. Who do it ?
O Team
O Consisting of analysts
O Engineers

4. What is an outcome ?
O Architecture
O Built in a series of small, time boxed
iterations.

5. Important Outcomes
O Common processes undertaken in this
phase Creation of use case diagrams
O Conceptual diagrams (class diagrams with
only basic notation)
O Package diagrams .

6. Primary Goals
O To define each point mentioned in inception
O To address known risk factors
O To establish system architecture
O To validate system architecture
O Elaborating an idea or vision
