Speaking not as an ARC member, but rather as a CRT Advocate and former Tech Lead: Standard expectation is that a single ARC case will be integrated as a single unit. If you intend anything else, either because a coordinated delivery is necessary, or you plan to stage multiple deliveries for different phases of the work, then it should be called out explicitly in the ARC case materials. If I evaluate a project or RTI, and find that it's only delivering a subset of the work specified in the ARC case materials, and that this was not made explicit when it was reviewed by the ARC, then I typically ask the submitter to send a note to the case log, describing what they're doing and why, and giving the members a chance to comment. If I have to dig to find this information, I get a little bit grumpy. Ie if you're only delivering a subset of the case materials, please spell it out clearly in the RTI. Otherwise it feels like you've either been careless, or that you're trying to be sneaky. (Neither of which is usually true, but your advocate doesn't always have all of the information that you have...) --Mark
