The Software Process Engineering meta model from OMG might
be a good place to start.
There is a handy translation table that can be used to see
the terminology used by different methods.

question: common definition of project phase
I am
looking to the Team and the community for input on the following: what do you
call or would you call the name of the point at which an application lifecycle
is currently positioned? Apologies for the obtuse formatting of the question,
but I am trying to avoid using all the various terms to keep the question
open-ended. When you move from requirements to prototype to development/implementation
to testing, deployment and maintenance, what would you call each of those
things I just listed? What is semantic name for that set in your world?
Thanks!
