Onlinefasen

Onlinefasen is a Danish term that translates to "the online phase" and is used to describe the period in a project, service, or process when activities take place primarily through online platforms. The term is not tied to a single methodology; its exact meaning varies by context, but it typically refers to the stage in which a solution is exposed to users or participants via the internet and operated in a live online environment.

In product development or IT projects, the onlinefasen covers deployment, go-live, and the ongoing operation of a service, including monitoring, support, and iterative improvements driven by real-user data. In education or public services, it may describe the shift to online delivery or the continuous online operation of a program, such as virtual courses or digital government services. Key characteristics include a live environment, user access, data collection and analytics, incident management, and attention to security, privacy, and accessibility.

Typical activities during the onlinefasen include deployment or launch, user onboarding, performance monitoring, incident response, feedback collection, and optimization based on analytics. Outcomes are measured by metrics such as uptime, latency, error rate, user engagement, satisfaction, and support requests. Challenges can involve outages, security and privacy concerns, digital accessibility, and ensuring a smooth user experience across devices.

The onlinefasen often follows planning and development phases and precedes ongoing maintenance. It may overlap with agile sprints and continuous delivery models. Examples include the public launch of a streaming platform or the online rollout of an e-learning course.
