The developer is responsible for development, which refers to
those activities undertaken to evolve the system from the statement
of need by the user to the acceptance into service
by the user. The developer therefore needs to plan
and conduct the Acquisition Phase activities in Conceptual Design, Preliminary
Design, Detailed Design and Development, and Construction and/or Production.
While the
developer can be part of the customer organisation, normally
the customer organisation has an acquisition element that signs a
contract with the developer for all or some of
the acquisition Phase activities.
