In this phase Partner prepares a model that is presented to the business. Once approved the model becomes the system requirements.

The proposed model is a model of the business and could contain the following models:

• Technical Model
• Business Model

In traditional terms this would be called the Build phase.

This phase consists of the following steps:

• Detailed Design
  The model definition is broken down into work tasks that can be handed to individual developers or teams. The detailed design consists of an overview, Functional descriptions, screen layouts and data design, test plans.
• Task development
  Detailed design is implemented in program code by a single developer or development team.
• Unit Testing
  The developer or development team tests their program code independent of other parts of the system. Inputs and outputs are tested against the unit test plans. Screens are shown to the users for approval.
• System testing
  The program unit is tested with other system components to ensure the various components of the system works together according to the system test plans.
• Integration testing
  The system is integrated with other systems in the environment and tested according to the test plans.
• User acceptance testing
  The full system is provided to the users for acceptance.
• Implementation
  The system is implemented according to the implementation plan. This involves the physical change control process and the possible take-on of previous data.

In this phase Partner supports the running of the system by:

• Reacting to User requests
• Fixing any reported problems
• Analysing usage data to ensure the systems runs smoothly
• Analysing user behaviour to determine future changes
• Analysing workflow engine results to establish the performance of the business processes and to identify possible bottlenecks
