[epf-dev] Self referencing Presentation Name in content?

hiho,

 

I was just working on the detail for the Developer role and I was looking at other roles for some examples of style.  I think I am seeing a specific issue that then becomes a general one.

 

The Skills section of the Project Manager role Brief Description starts with “The Project Manager role plans…” and the skills section starts with “A person performing the Project Manager role needs…”.  This sort of self-referencing text is not uncommon.  But I think that process engineers might want to create elements that rename our OpenUP/Basic elements by Extending them and changing the name.  This is a problem if the name is referenced in the body of the text.

 

Should we avoid referencing the name of the process element in the body of it?  All the examples I am finding could be changed into things like “This role plans…” or “A person performing this role needs…”.

 

Let me know if I am off base here.

 

If we decide to do this, we should probably have Ricardo Balduino change the Brief Descriptions for ease of CM.
