Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine RAD requirements
   • Select and use, the most suitable industry-standard tool set
   • Implement a prioritised plan using a series of recursive stages of build, and review for delivery of the system
   • Implement and incorporate a physical database
   • Identify, document, and schedule the modules to be implemented by incremental development techniques
   • Identify and formally allocate responsibilities to the authorised user, and to suitably skilled builders, for each module
   • Plan for, and document, the endorsement of reviews, administration schedules and development milestones
2. Determine the work metrics
   • Set development goals
   • Seek and secure agreement on, and adherence to, a single common notation
   • Determine the tools, features and techniques most appropriate to the development environment
   • Facilitate, plan, develop, and document version and change-control methods
   • Facilitate training and exposure for the user participants via RAD
3. Implement the administration method
   • Determine and reach agreement of stakeholders on the specifications
   • Confirm the dates for milestones with stakeholders, and secure with written agreement
   • Inform the production system’s parties, and secure with written acknowledgment
   • Administer and maintain, time-recording and management methodologies
