### Resources The project staffing for this iteration can be viewed as follows: #### Financial Resources The budget for this iteration is $150,000. WebNewsOnLine has secured this funding. ### Use Cases During the Preliminary Iteration, all significant use cases and actors will be identified. The basic flows and key alternative flows of each use case will be determined and documented in the Use Case Specifications. The design and implementation of use cases will begin in the next iteration. ### Evaluation Criteria The primary goal of the Preliminary Iteration is to define the system to the level of detail required to make a sound business judgment on the viability of the project from a business prospective. At the completion of the iteration, a review of the Business Case will arrive at a Go / No Go decision for the project. Each deliverable developed during the iteration will be peer reviewed and subject to approval from the team. Criteria for evaluation can be found in the Test Plan.
