It will be iffy if I can participate in tomorrow's telecon -
however here is my two bits: I think we must refocus our efforts to developing
the environment and outreach to facilitate the adoption of EPF. This is one
reason why XP and Scrum are uber popular and methods like Crystal and DSDM are not.
I'm making some progress in this area, but we really need to work collectively
to create the material needed to support this. Also while I was initially
opposed to the idea of certification, I think we should push towards creating
some form of EPF certification.
A second goal should be to expand the practice library beyond
the requirements of OpenUP - adding practices which could replace OpenUP
centric practices such as use case development. I believe this is necessary to
give EPF some street cred that it is more than a re-packaged version of UP.
Hopefully I will be able to chat with all of you tomorrow, but
this week is a little insane.
best regards,
Steve
