Summary

 |
Here's a summary of the DADI process including the tasks
that should be completed, the people that should be involved and the deliverables
in each phase. The Tasks and Deliverables sections list items that may need to
be completed, but not all of them will be needed for every project. The People
section lists all of the roles that might be necessary to fill during each phase.
For smaller projects, you won't need one person for each role. Frequently, several
roles can be combined and executed by the same person. It will depend on the
project and the team as to how the roles are divided among the development team.
