The lifecycle of a project is depicted on the following diagram:
Project State | Description |
Proposal | Project doesn’t really exist yet, may not have real resources, but is proposed and is expected to be created due to business needs. |
Incubation | Project has resources, but is recognized to be in the early stages of development. The outcome is a minimum viable product (MVP) that demonstrates the value of the project and is a useful vehicle for collecting feedback, but is not expected to be used in production environments. |
Mature | Project is fully functioning and stable, has achieved successful releases. |
Core | Project provides value to and receives interest from a broad audience. |
Archived | Project can reach Archived state for multiple reasons. Either project has successfully been completed and its artifacts provide business values, or project has been cancelled for unforeseen reasons (no value anymore, technical, etc.). Project in any state can be Archived through a Termination Review. |
To move from one state to the next state, the Project Team has to formulate a Kick-Off release review to the TSC, by specifying its goal to move up the Project Lifecycle ladder.
From State | To State | Review Description |
