| RE: [epf-dev] Lifecycle diagram revision |
I like the last one as it shows the product getting "bigger" and more complete through the four phases. Regarding the lifecycle diagram, attached is a slide that appears in APG's RUP training that might foot the bill. The things I like about it is it shows "loopy" iterations occuring continually throughout the phases, makes some distinction between the end of a phase and the end of a "normal" iteration, and provides descriptive labels related to the problem and solution for each phase. Regarding the presumed inclusion of Daily Meetings (which certainly isn't a bad idea), I'm sure everyone noticed the numerous Bugzilla entries for incorporating XP content. I was wondering (like Brian and perhaps others), if we had made a decision to include the XP content into the "core" OpenUP/Basic 1.0 content. I guess I thought (perhaps naively, for no good reason) that it was going to be an extension to OpenUP as a plug in someway (OpenUP/XP?)... I think discussing the entry/exit state thing would be pertinent...

On the other hand the "lifecycle diagram" (that started this thread) is the picture above the WBS that is labeled Workflow on the Lifecycle page. I think this diverges too much from the focus of "what is the lifecycle?" and instead covers "what's it all about?" Especially the ones without the phases. I like the picture though. A lot. Perhaps this is a missing graphic at the top of the Core Principles page. Did we add Daily Meetings as a definitive, default characteristic of applying OpenUP/Basic? Back to the lifecycle diagram, I think it can have iterations added somehow. Perhaps just in a more aesthetically pleasing version of what Steve scrawled or perhaps someone has a more innovative representation. Though the Lifecycle page does not call it out, WBS elements are understood to have Work Product Usage in addition to the task-centric perspective. I'd love for us to get the focus on the ever growing product in there (as suggested by Scott). Of course we don't have a Work Product called Product, just the Build. Maybe something like Ana's ever-growing blocks could fit into the Lifecycle Diagram. BTW, do we need a side discussion on the Entry State and Exit State and Deliverable columns on the Work Product Usage? That sounds like something that could add a little more clarity to the process. ------- b -----Original Message----- From: epf-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:epf-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ana Valente Pereira Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 5:38 AM To: Steve Adolph Cc: Eclipse Process Framework Project Developers List Subject: Re: [epf-dev] Lifecycle diagram revision just some ideas ... modified from a picture I saw for something else... ..
