Planning and designing the application<br />
overview<br />
Case management projects, like other xCP applications, are created in a series of phases. The following<br />
diagram illustrates a typical phase structure:<br />
Thorough planning and testing is important for process-based applications and can make a difference<br />
in whether a project succeeds or fails. What makes this possible is the extensive use of templates for<br />
creating <strong>processes</strong>, forms, reports, and user interfaces. Anticipating risks, aligning on requirements,<br />
and designing the solution carefully are critical to success.<br />
Another best practice recommendation is to use an agile methodology. Break up the full application<br />
into smaller modules and establish frequent cycles of design, implementation, and testing, as illustrated<br />
in the above diagram. This approach is considered a more successful alternative to the classic waterfall<br />
approach.<br />
