| [epf-dev] OpenUP/Basic Feedback |
|
Hello,
I work for a software development company here in
How successful were
you in deploying OpenUP? We are starting to
deploy OpenUP (some of us know RUP and SDP based on RUP) and we have found the
OpenUP/Basic a very useful because it is just what we need to start. What specific
problems did you encounter (e.g. lack of training, couldn't understand a
particular guideline, etc)? Some persons on
our organization don’t have any previous experience on formal Software
Development Practices like RUP, the use of UML or an iterative development
process, and they are learning the benefits of the model and how it will help
on the organization of our Development Process. What parts of the
process were easy to deploy? We are in the
‘evangelization’ phase, we don’t know exactly what parts are
easy or harder but we feel very comfortable with the Analysis and Design
disciplines as well as the Project Management process. Are you using it
as-is or are you modifying it? We are trying to
use it as-is but we are customizing the Work Products to better fit our current
development artifacts. We are evaluation some minor changes on the texts and
explanations as well as some ‘translation’ of the working products
to Spanish. If you're using EPF
Composer, to what extent are you modifying OpenUP (e.g. minor text changes,
replacing templates, changing entire disciplines, etc)? We just started
with the EPF Composer; we will modify the templates and add some disciplines. What are the
characteristics of your project (head count, timeframe, industry, We develop are a
small company mainly involved on tailored software development. I hope this can help you. Regards, Edd.
