2.3 Project Evaluation Framework

Also known as PEF.

Helps to determine if the project in its current state:

Is ready to proceed to the next phase of a slice.

Ready for release.

And/or needs to continue to the next slice of AWH (augmented web helix).

It borrows concepts from NFR (Non Functional Requirement) framework.

	NFR framework is a framework used for evaluating processes, software artifacts and for establishing traceability
	and by itself is:

Qualitative.

Process-oriented.

Goal-oriented.

	PEF is applied to evaluate whether that phase is completed or not at the end of each phase on a helix called the
	phase-stage evaluation.

2.3 Project Evaluation Framework

	If determined to be complete, the project may proceed to the next phase on the helix; the project may repeat the
	phase.

	FIG or the Factor Independency graph is the result of the steps of the PEF after the testing phase. It establishes
	a relationship between the factors affecting Release and Continue stages.
