Oracle AIM
Oracle’s Application Implementation Methodology (AIM) is Oracle's project management methodology and implementation strategy.
AIM provides documentation templates that support the tasks that must be performed to assist the implementation participants in running and managing projects successfully. One typically doesn't use all the available templates, but pick those that will be useful to your project.
The methodology and structure
The methodology used is similar to traditional software project management methodologies. There are six phases within the project, these are:
◆需求定义阶段（Definition）
◆业务分析阶段（Operations Analysis）
◆方案设计阶段（Solution Design）
◆建立系统阶段（Build）
◆系统切换阶段（Transition）
◆正式运行阶段（Production）

MD050 & MD070
MD50 and MD70documents are AIM (Application Implementation
Methodology)documents for functional and Tech spec of Form and
Repots customization.
MD050:
This document specifies various functional specification required for Techies to understand the functional requirement of Form or Report Customization and design.. This is prepared by Functional consultant to clarify the spec to Techies. For any component like Report,Interface etc we have to first get the requirements as to what is the source ,destinations, what data should be moved and what functional validations would be required etc. All this would go into the MD050. Generally written by a non-technical people like Business Analysts or Functional Consultants.

MD070:
This is technical specification prepared by the programmer based on MD50. This provides tech specs, PLSQL code for the Report and Form and helps to understand and modify if required in future. MD070 is the technical document that is written to fulfill the functional requirement specified in MD050. It includes the approaches you take, pseudo code, validations,Data Sources, SQL Statements etc.
