Primes

• Design for Lifecycle Adaptability
  • The design of adaptability mechanisms: redundancy, excess capacity, staged implementation, or reconfigurability that enable evolution without redesign

    This sourceIdentifies four aspects of changeability (flexibility, agility, robustness, adaptability) and a set of basic and extending principles for enabling change across the lifecycle, with cost-benefit identification of changeability measures.
