Phases was Re: [epf-dev] BUP Fundamental Concepts and CollaborativePrinciplesProposal

Agreed, it's hard to argue with Don about this one. ;-)

Your comment on extended phases seemed to get missed in the
excitement over diagrams :-)
FWIW, I think that there is a lot of value in this approach. I think
it's more appropriate for a plug-in that for inclusion on core BUP
though. To my knowledge, the vision for BUP is to keep it as simple
(and complete) as possible.
As you have pointed out, the lifecycle extensions are more
applicable to product lifecycles than project lifecycles. I think
that a product lifecycle plugin for EPF, extending core BUP, would
be very useful.
kind regards

Everyone,
It might be nice to consider that there are other phases before and
after the traditional RUP ones. For systems, there is initial production
and full-scale production for systems development (as opposed to pure
software applications) as well as retirement. There are also
organizational phases that surround individual project phases (e.g.,
addressing product lines and programs of related projects). There are
also issues of acquisition to be addressed. The RUP phases really seem
only adequate for simple pure software development projects. Also, what
about adequately addressing system integration as opposed to green-field
application development?
