    A real problem or recurring need has been identified. The intended users, purpose and practical value of a possible solution are being defined.

  2. 02

    In Build

    The product structure, functions, presentation and supporting material are being created and refined against the DRTL standard.

  3. 03

    In Testing

    The product is being used in realistic conditions to identify faults, unclear instructions, usability problems and opportunities for improvement.

  4. 04
