[epf-dev] Database Design content in OpenUP

[Mark.Dickson@xxxxxxxxx]

I'm looking at bug 154625 - Database Modeling content in OpenUP.

 

I had intended simply to add a new guideline under Development with content modified from RUP for Small Projects Data Model description.

 

Looking in more detail, I'd like us to consider

• Adding a new Step to the Design Solution Task called Design the Database (that can be ignored if there are no persistence requirements for the project) OR modifying the existing text to make it clearer that data design is part of the work. Personally, I prefer adding the step.
• Add a new Guideline called "Database Design" based on the RUP Task of the same name.
• Add a new visual modeling Guideline called Data Modeling, based on the RUP Guideline for Data Model.

Do you think that the data model should be described as a part of the Design product or called out as a product in it's own right? I tend to think that the latter is more consistent with our overall approach.

 

Let me know what you'd like to do and I'll crack on and make the changes,

 

Cheers
