Overview:
This iteration template defines the activities (and associated roles and work products) performed in a typical iteration in the Elaboration phase.

Main Description:

Most activities during a typical iteration in Elaboration phase happen in parallel. Essentially, the main objectives for Elaboration are related to better understanding the requirements, creating and establishing a baseline of the architecture for the system, and mitigating top-priority risks.

Alternatives:
There will be iterations when projects risks are being addressed by creating software, but they may not be architecturallysignificant. In this case, Capability Pattern: Develop Solution Increment will be performed outside the context of the architecture.
