SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrate automates managing a 12-phase development lifecycle with integrated quality gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-based governance: Define and enforce gates between phases to ensure essential artifacts are created before moving forward.
  • CLI-driven transitions: Start a new project, advance to the next phase, or jump to a specific phase with lightweight commands.
  • Lifecycle visibility: Provides status across current phase, responsible agents, and gate readiness for stakeholder reporting.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate development lifecycle phase transitions with quality gates?

Automate development lifecycle phase transitions by enforcing quality gate criteria between phases, ensuring essential artifacts are created before advancing. This prevents skipping critical steps and maintains phase governance throughout the project lifecycle.

What is a 12-phase development lifecycle and how does it manage project phases?

A 12-phase development lifecycle structures project progression from identity and conception through deployment and monitoring. It manages phases by enforcing gate criteria, supporting navigation, and exposing CLI commands for advancing or jumping between specific phases.

How do I enforce quality gates before moving to the next development phase?

Enforce quality gates by defining required artifacts and criteria that must be met before allowing phase transitions. The system prevents advancement until gate criteria are satisfied, ensuring essential project artifacts are created and reviewed.

Can I use a CLI to manage and report status across development lifecycle phases?

Yes, use a CLI to start new projects, advance to the next phase, jump to specific phases, and report status. It provides visibility into the current phase, responsible agents, and gate readiness for stakeholder reporting.

What's the best way to structure a startup project from conception to monitoring?

Structure a startup project by applying a 12-phase lifecycle from project identity and brand discovery through deployment and monitoring. This approach uses phase-based governance to ensure structured transitions and essential artifact creation.

When should I not use a phase-based governance model for software development?

Avoid phase-based governance models for software development when projects require highly iterative, continuous deployment cycles without distinct phase boundaries, or when gate criteria enforcement would create unnecessary bottlenecks for small, rapid updates.
