Introduction to Status Transition

The lifecycle of an R&D requirement consists of the Initial, Analyzing, Developing, Testing, and Completed states. Figure 1 shows the complete status transition process.

Table 1 describes operations in each state.

**Table 1** Operation description
State	Description	Operation
Initial	When an R&D requirement is created, the state is Initial by default.	Creating R&D Requirements Breaking Down R&D Requirements Initial IR
Analyzing	After the R&D requirement in the Initial state is handled, the state changes to Analyzing.	Analyzing an IR
Developing	After the R&D requirement is analyzed, the state changes to Developing.	Developing an IR
