As was done in Phase 1 of the project, the 2^nd Phase of the project will continue to use Agile software development methodology, with the preference of using scrum. Unlike the previous phase of the project however, the project will have a slightly different time table.

The project will adopt a 2 week iteration duration with a 3 iteration release time. At the end of each 2 week iteration, the development team will demonstrate the potentially shippable progress made in previous iteration. However release of the 3 iterations to test or production environments should be done on or by the 3^rd iteration.

As an open source project, the code that was developed on each iteration will be openly accessible to DRMFSS at the following link https://github.com/EdgeComputing/cats. However, as pointed out in the technical review, on each release, the code shall be deployed and working from a DRMFSS owned server. This is one of the key distinctions that differentiates a release from the subsequent iterations.
