ABSTRACT

End-to-End Life-Cycle Diagram (Repeatable Level — Side 1) Any end-to-end life-cycle diagram is really a set of conjoined phases represented as horizontal process activity diagrams (PADs). On the upward side, one or more contiguous phases can also be grouped together as life-cycle segments that in turn become the entire life cycle. On the downward side, each PAD contains a partial life cycle represented by process activities showing predecessor/successor relationships among activities.
