The URDAD project life cycle

The tool’s own project life cycle, from initiation through planning, development and review to approval and activation. Deliver regulated project change specialises Deliver project change: it inherits every pre- and post-condition and adds the compliance ones, so that a compliance officer’s review follows the team’s and approval needs both.

It verifies with no errors. Two warnings remain by design: the number of review-and-rework rounds a project needs really is unbounded.
