"What" Activities / “How" Activities / "Do" Activities
Plan and Build Phase
(e.g. before sell/buy title transfer) / ·  Develop goals
·  Define strategy
·  Define product needs / ·  Develop requirements
·  Define concept
·  Design product
·  Plan to produce product
·  Plan to support product / ·  Procure parts
·  Produce product
·  Test product
·  Ship product
Use and Operate Phase
(e.g. after the sell/buy transfer) / ·  Define support needs
·  Define use / ·  Define use requirements
·  Define support
·  requirements / ·  Use the product
·  Support product
Dispose and Recycle Phase
(e.g. after product is no longer useful) / ·  Define recycle/ dispose needs / ·  Define recycle/
·  dispose requirements / ·  Recycle product
·  Dispose product
