Next steps

With an understanding of the existing landscape and where we need to get to go, working with an approach of a minimal viable product and API 1^st in terms of solution for MRA, we can sketch out a roadmap which the following chapters will follow, as shown in the following diagram:

Solution lifecycle general

Details of this lifecycle will become clearer in the following chapters. The following table provides a brief summary of each phase shown in the preceding diagram:

Phase	Description
API Design	This defines the API specification showing how the payload will be structured and communicated.
Client Implementation	This builds the application that can consume/use the API.
