Best Regards

I would vote for just adding them in separate packages. I am all in favor of providing many alternative patterns and DPs on the same content as long there is documentation explaining when to use what. That is exactly the idea behind these concepts. As I see it, you used 'extends' to the existing activities as much as possible so the documentation of these extended activities is actually reused and you only have to document your own patterns, which should keep the amount of work to a minimum. In a few cases you probably want to use new 'local replace deep copy' feature to do some step suppressions of some individual TDs in your DP, though. I am explaining this feature in the presentation tomorrow morning and am scheduled to do this for the original DP tomorrow as well (busy day).

We are not going to provide any features or content for work components in the first release. This is only in scope for the next release.

Thanks and best regards,
Peter Haumer.

I know that we have tight deadlines but with some simple changes on what
we have we can make the process simple to newcomers …
it does not make sense that we have 14 capability patterns to group 18
tasks!!

I re-factored my previous proposal to include only 6 capability patterns
(last time I called them collaboration patterns because I was
representing grouping between tasks in different sub-processes, in the
same way that, Chris Armstrong did in the attachment that Bryan Lyons
mentioned)…

I had no idea that Peter Haumer and Vaydia Kirti where working on “work
components” (at content level or at tool level?) but it seems that
nothing in this
proposal conflicts with that because proposed capabilities represent
higher-level goals that can be realized now with tasks
(and with the work components in the next release) .

Besides making the process easier to understand, this approach has other
advantages, for example: iterations are planned in terms of goals and
can be extended adding or removing goals, removing/adding one goal from
the project will remove/add the corresponding work components, i

I don't know who is the owner of the lifecycle content but I am
available for working on it if you find it usefull
