English term or phrase: upper life cycle

I'm working on IT Management documents related to PMBOK and ITIL. In the list of project documents I found "Upper life cycle documents (requirement specs., functional specifications, design, etc.)."
Any idea what is "upper life cycle", and what is the translation in Japanese?

　ウォーターフォール・モデルを典型とするソフトウェア開発ライフサイクルで、要件分析／定義から仕様決定、外部設計あたりまでの工程をいう。

　厳密な定義はなく、その線引きは論者や方法論によって微妙な違いがあるが、大雑把にいって、どのようなソフトウェアを開発するのかを決定する工程だと考えればよい。
