Elaboration
Order: #2 activities
Updated 4 months ago
Description
Elaboration phase translates the Inception architecture into a working, deployable system. All workflows in this phase depend on DTA outputs from Inception. Workflow execution sequence: (1) DSP - Define Software Process: consumes SAO.md to define branching strategy, tooling, and Definition of Done. Must run first as it establishes process conventions used by all subsequent workflows. (2) EST - Estimate the Project: can run in parallel with DCI once DSP is complete. (3) DCI - Define Cloud Infrastructure: provisions AWS infrastructure (VPC, EKS, ECR, Route53) that DCD depends on. (4) DCD - Define CD Pipeline: builds Helm charts and CI/CD pipelines on top of DCI infrastructure. Must complete before BSP. (5) BSP - Bootstrap Project: scaffolds the runnable application using the Makefile, pipeline, and conventions established by DSP, DCI, and DCD. Parallel group: EST can run alongside DCI. Sequential constraint: DCI must complete before DCD, DCD must complete before BSP.
