The Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) Digital Innovation Solutions (DIS) team is always working on new products to support the mandate of the CSPS, the Digital Academy (DA) and the Government of Canda (GC). As DIS works on developing new applications, the team is continuously developing, testing and releasing enhancements and fixes throughout the development release cycle. There are four stages of development, testing and release for a new web application: Proof of Concept, Alpha, Beta and Official Release.  
    
During the proof of concept phase, DIS will attempt to demonstrate the feasibility of a concept or product to verify if it has the potential of being used. DIS will either test an open-source software to see if it meets the initial requirements, or will test a newly developed Minimal Viable Product (MVP). If the concept or product successfully goes through the proof of concept phase, it will then enter the Alpha phase where the majority of the new development and design work for the new product will be completed. Once the initial necessary features are developed and tested in Alpha, the new tool will enter the Beta phase where at least 90% of the application is completed and is released to users as the Minimal Marketable Product (MMP). During the Beta phase, final bug fixes and enhancements required are addressed before the application is officially released.
