Guideline Model

This version of the life cycle is called the guideline model:

Each phase have various products that are created to help move the project along. The products are organized so that they appear on a schedule that has been developed by the company.

Phases	Problem Definition	Analysis	Design	Writing Code	Testing	Implementation	Maintenance
Milestone (examples)	<----- date of completion for each task/product ----->
Products (examples)	PDT	dialogue	IPO	interface	bug reports	test data	variance items
		questionnaires	pseudocode	code to save data	test scenarios	expected outcomes
		surveys	flowchart	code to load saved data	test data
		research		nightly builds	expected outcomes
				bug list	alpha testing
					beta testing
	reports	reports	reports	reports	reports	reports	reports

Moving from the Writing Code to Implementation Phases

There is a nice diagram that outlines the phases here:
