Logical Feature Lifecycle

The Logical Feature lifecycle includes these states:

This page discusses:

Preliminary

Logical features are created in the Preliminary state. Product Managers or System Engineers role can define the logical feature composition while it is in this state.

Review

Logical features are promoted to the Review state upon initial composition definition. You can deploy route-controlled review mechanisms to track the completeness of the definition and use the change control process to release the logical feature. The Responsible Design Organization (RDO) governs all role definitions in this state, and role definitions have RDO filters in their policy.

Release

Logical features are promoted to the Release state using a Change Order. It is not possible to manually promote or demote from this state, which is considered a frozen state for the logical feature. It is also not possible to make any change to the composition of a logical feature when it is in this state; however, it is still possible to define a GBOM. The logical feature is not governed by the RDO when it is in this state.

Obsolete

Logical features are promoted to the Obsolete state using a Change Order. It is not possible to manually promote or demote from this state, which is considered a frozen state for the logical feature. It is also not possible to make any change to the composition of a logical feature when it is in this state. The logical feature is not governed by the RDO when it is in this state.
