The design stage focuses on "how" the project will be implemented to achieve the goals and objectives of your client. The original requirements are now explored and validated by the project team as they architect the client solution.
Project design includes the following key elements:
Define and refine the project's requirements
Complete business process reengineering of the functions to be supported
Collaborate on design issues using the project forum
Define functional and system requirements that are not easily expressed in data and process models
Refine the proposed solution architecture and logical design to support the functional and technical requirements
Track time against design and other project tasks to keep schedules automatically up-to-date with the integrated time tracking application
Continue to identify and mitigate risks, coordinating plans with the client
