Lesson 9	The Development phase
Objective	Identify the key elements of the Development phase.

Website Development Phase

Beginning to build

Once the design and architecture documents are approved, the Development Phase begins. The goal of the Development phase is to prepare all the components of a fully functioning website for delivery. Development involves the actual production and testing of the site's design and technical features. In most website projects, the "Development Phase" will require more staff time and resources than any other phase.

Function of WebTeam during the Development Phase

In this phase WebTeam must bring all groups to the process. Click the groups on the WebTeam blueprint to see the objectives, deliverables, and activities required in this phase.

The 1st phase tab will be Discovery
the 2nd phase tab will be Definition
the 3rd phase tab will be Design
4th phase will be Development.
