2.4 Definition of a Project
2.4.3 Project Progress Decision "Project Defined"
V-Modell Description: »Project Progress Decision
Based on the »Product Instance to be submitted, the persons in charge decide at each »Decision Gate if the respective »Project Progress Stage has been reached, and record the result in the project progress decision.
Dipl.-Ing. Platon, member of the Trademark and Patent Administration of the Technische Universität München, two additional members of the administration, the »Project Leader Dr. Odysseus and the »Requirements Engineer (Acquirer) participate in the meeting deciding on the project progress. This meeting is intended to obtain the confirmation from the Trademark and Patent Administration that the submitted products reflect the project correctly, thus defining the project Trademark and Patent Information System I.
After a positive assessment of the submitted products, Dr. Odysseus wants to determine the schedule for future meetings between the Trademark and Patent Administration and the Project Team of the Technische Universität München. The participants accept the proposal of Prof. Aristoteles, according to which the dates for the decision gates will also be used as dates for the decision meetings.
Dr. Odysseus records this and other decisions in writing in the »Project Progress Decision.

Project Progress Decision »Project Defined: »Planning and Scheduling Quality Objectives It is decisive to comply with the schedule and the budget. The user acceptance, which was included as objective in the project proposal, has also to be ensured. The quality objectives of ease of use, functionality, reliability, efficiency and changeability are defined in the requirements and will be verified and validated by the »Requirements Evaluation and the final evaluations.
|
The above quality objectives and the procedure for achieving them are discussed for a long time. The idea to submit the »Requirements Specification not only to project members but also to a group of future users in order to increase the acceptance is accepted and integrated as specification into the project Trademark and Patent Information System I.
|
Project Progress Decision »Project Defined: Specifications and Framework Conditions Before being evaluated formally, the requirements will be submitted to a selected group of future users for evaluation. The regulations of the Technische Universität München, which are specified by laws and orders (e.g. regarding data privacy protection), shall be observed during the specification of requirements. The technical solution shall be an advanced system based on proven information and communication technology. |
Thus, the project Trademark and Patent Information System I is defined, and the specification of requirements may begin.
