04 · Velnex Method

A controlled path from requirement to reliable operation.

Six stages, each with defined inputs, outputs and a checkpoint. The method scales from a short definition sprint to a multi-phase platform programme.

  1. Stage 01

    Inspect

    Understand the current operation, goals, users and constraints.

    Gate · Shared understanding of the problem

  2. Stage 02

    Specify

    Define requirements, priorities, risks and success conditions.

    Gate · Scope and success agreed

Operating rules

How control is maintained throughout.

R1Checkpoints are approvals
Work moves to the next stage only after you approve the stage output.
R2Demonstrations every cycle
You see working software at the end of each engineering cycle, not only at the end of the project.
R3Decisions are recorded
Significant technical choices are written down with the reasoning and alternatives considered.
R4Risks are visible
A shared risk register is maintained from Inspect through Maintain.
