Hi Steve<br><br>First of all - Can you clarify what cycle you are referring to? <br>Is it the product development process in Outcome 2 of Unit 3, which Melissa has listed, or is it life cycle analysis (LCA) from Outcome 1 in Unit 4?<br>
<br>

Secondly I would suggest that you don&#39;t get too worried about the exact number of stages in different material (text or support material) as it depends on what you have taught your students. If you have taught them 5 specific stages then just change the question in the revision sheet example to suit that.<br>
Exact number of stages depends on the product, the company, the range of distribution and many other things. Some stages can be elaborated on and split into other stages. So it depends what examples you are using and also what you are teaching your students.<br>
Hope this helps<br>Jacinta<br>
