Re: [epf-dev] Proposed name change for Project Management elements
There are other reasons for the name change. Projects can be rolled together into Programs of related projects (e.g., product lines). You may not want to be too restrictive. On the other hand, development lead may be confused with technical leader, when you seem to be more oriented for an administrative manager. Also, why lead rather than leader?

Hi all

Following on from the discussions at the Reading F2F, I would like to
suggest that we change the names of the PM elements to reflect the small
team nature of OpenUP/Basic.

OpenUP/Basic Name Proposed Change
====================================
Project Manager   Development Lead
Project Plan            Development Plan

The premise is that the scope of Open/UP basic small, so really represents
the development effort inside a larger project management framework. This
suggests that our PM role isn't really a Big-Boss Project Manager but more
of a development team leader. Similarly, the OpenUP/Basic Project Plan is
also going to be pretty narrowly scoped,  so is possibly more of a
Development Plan (covering the software development effort) rather than a
full-blow project plan.

This approach leaves the door open to creating a Project Management plug-in
for OpenUP in the future whilst reflecting the lightweight nature and
development focus of OpenUP/Basic for the initial release.

cheers
