RE: [epf-dev] Intro page + Plus comments for all content leads++

Hello Per,
 
Concerning the additional roles for the tasks in intent I agree that the Architect, Developer and Test should be additional roles to ensure requriements are feasible and verifiable.  I propose we add these three additional performers to the three tasks in requirements.
 
The three requirements tasks contain the step Achieve Concurence.  I think they fine as is, along with the associate guidance Effective Requirements Reviews as these two elements do discuss internal reviews to ensure that requirements are feasible and verifiable.  If you think there should be an additional sentence added to the step: Achieve Concurence I have no problem with that.  Let me know what you think and I will create bugzilla entries and make the changes.
 
Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

attached you find my draft description of each subprocess and the foundational collaboration layer. I am writing this disconnected, so cannot put it into bugzilla right now.
The text would probably benefit from a graph for each sub-process to capture the essence of that sub-process. I have not yet reflected on what such a graph may look like.

As I wrote the text, I made a number of comments that I hope is a good read for all content leads, as well as other people writing content. I e.g. suggest changes to most of the tasks in Intent and Solutions Development to better reflect collaborative development, with more roles involved in the various tasks. I think the counter-argument is that if every role needs to participate in every task, does that not only clutter the model? That would be a valid concern, but as a minimum, we need to make sure that it is crystal clear to the analyst that they should not only capture requirements, but that they need to involve developers, architects and testers to validate the requriements and ensure that they are understood. This could be done through a simple change to the step "Achieve Concurrence". The same type of thinking probably applies to most or at least many tasks in the intent and solutions development sub-processes.

Comments?


Cheers

[epf-dev] Intro page






Hi Steve,


As you recall, at Wednesday's status meeting I expressed the concern that the intro graphic, while cool, introduces another set of things that look a lot like the disciplines, which could be confusing.  To address this concern, Per has agreed to draft up some pages for each of these areas.


After Sept 30, we can further explore my proposal to align these areas with the disciplines.

(For reference, here is what I had in mind - although from informal discussions, it looks like it will take a while to gel):

- rename "Intent" to be "Requirements", to match the discipline

- Solution would have sub-disciplines of Implementation, Test, AnD, and later deployment.

- Management would have CM and Project Management, and later Environment.

- Communication and Collaboration becomes a new discipline that describes general concepts and responsibilities of all team members.

For now, the Any Role and "submit a change request" would be in this discipline.  Longer term would be general review procedures, guidance on scrums, searching for reusable assets and
providing feedback, resolving conflict, etc.)




Hope that works for you.


Cheers,
