Guidelines:
|
Artifact | Purpose |
Tailoring (Optional, Recommended) |
---|---|---|
Development Process | Documents the development process configured for the project. Provides the team members with access to all relevant process guidance. | Recommended for all projects. |
Development Case | This artifact fine-tunes the development process to meet the exact needs of the project, including details on which artifacts to produce, and when. |
Optional in small projects as the development process artifact can be sufficient. Recommended for medium to large projects. |
Project Specific Guidelines | Project specific guidelines are appropriate whenever there are project-specific standards that must be followed, or good practices that need to be communicated. |
Recommended as applicable to project activities. Many projects will reuse guidelines rather than create their own. Small teams with experienced members and a shared philosophy may decide not to formally document some guidelines. The risk in this case is that standards and quality may drift over time. |
Project-Specific Templates | Helps jump-start production of document centric and model centric artifacts and ensures consistency between artifacts. |
Recommended as applicable to project artifacts. |
Development Infrastructure (including Tools) | This is the hardware and software tools used as part of development. | All projects will have a Development Infrastructure. Many projects will reuse an existing development infrastructure, rather than create their own. |
Development-Organization Assessment | Used to guide the process engineer in tailoring a process for an organization. |
Optional. In large organizations, an assessment is usually critical to making good process-related decisions. |
Manual Styleguide | Ensures consistent style and quality of end-user support material. |
Recommended for most projects with end-user support material. Many projects will reuse an existing styleguide rather than create their own. |
Tailor each artifact by performing the steps described in Activity: Develop Development Case, under the heading "Tailor Artifacts per Discipline".
