Re: [epf-dev] BUP Fundamental Concepts and Collaborative Principles Proposal
|
In the OPEN Process Framework, Development Cycle and Life Cycle are
method components of type Stage. One can use method engineering to
construct a method that is waterfall. One can also construct a method
that is iterative, incremental, parallel, and time-boxed. Different
endeavors need different development and life cycles. We therefore do
NOT mandate a specific development cycle, but rather allow the process
engineer to produce one that is appropriate for the endeavor.

the first release... more than in a small project :-) ) ...
... but why do we have to focus on lifecycle?... we can create several
delivery processes with different lifecycles... I thing that we should
focus on the the essential characteristics of RUP , preserved in BUP:
which include iterative development, use-cases and scenarios driving
development and architecture-centric approach.
I use the attached picture for explaining iterative development to my
teams ... each release is a little bit bigger and incorporates changes
from previous releases (changes that don´t mess with the architecture)
... I don't have a better picture for the architecture and usage
scenario but this one is only for showing the concept

I like the first sequence of pictures better.
But jokes may come from that particular sequence: an embryo is
conceived and develops into a human being fetus... than a cat is
delivered :-)
I like the idea of keeping pictures of a cat though... the cat will
not sue us because we used its picture :-)
Cheers.

Re: [epf-dev] BUP Fundamental Concepts and Collaborative
Principles Proposal
The hump chart is ok, but might be fun to do something a bit different.
How about a graphic for Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and
Transition like this:
Inception
Elaboration
Construction
Transition
This sends a few key messages - elaboration is not just design - it's
about growing something.
Construction may not be delivered stuff, but it's adding onto the
essentials already built in elaboration.
Transition can contain multiple releases.
Ok - for this last I really wanted to show a person at different
development stages, from baby to adult - but couldn't find one.
This could be put into a single diagram. This isn't quite what I
mean, but it might generate some ideas.
Hope you find this at least an interesting discussion...
I think we could use an artist.
