Re: [epf-dev] BUP Fundamental Concepts and CollaborativePrinciplesProposal

Navvena,
At one level, I like your pictures and their clarity. However, they do
tend to imply a largely waterfall development with first requirements,
then architecture, then design/code/integrate/test, then deliver.

I agree that graphics are required, because a picture speaks a
thousand words.
But what we really need are 2 sets of graphics:-
* An 'at a glance view' of the various phases/iterations and how
the disciplines play along those phases.
I haven't seen a better chart for this than the RUP hump chart. I do
see testing humps in the elaboration phase.
However the chart needs to be modified to take into account other
aspects such as collaboration.
I'd like to see a consistent hump across all the phases to indicate
that collaboration is a key to a succesful project.
* The second set of graphics or supporting graphics are there for
further clarity as we delve into the phase descriptions.
And to use a more universal metaphor, I would suggest the building
metaphor as I've indicated below.
1. Stage 1: It is important to have the blueprint drawn at the end
of inception - so you have the basic requirements, how many
bedrooms/baths you need.
2. Stage 2: In the next stage of 'elaboration', you lay the
foundation and the frame so that the house has a solid architecture
and support.
Usually needs inspections (testing) during this phase because
if things are not up to code you have to repeat (iterative).
3. Stage 3: is where the real construction takes place - drywall,
the insulation, doors, windows, cabinets, painting all need to be put
into place.
It is important to stress that a lot of interaction will take
place between the stakeholders( home owners) to figure out what
colors, what kind
of cabinets, doors windows they want. People tend to change
their minds during this phase even if they agreed to something different
earlier. Communication/Collaboration is key.
4. Stage 10: Final inspections are done to ensure house is to code
etc. The stakeholder needs to sign off on it as being ready to use..
-
*Inception/BluePrint* *Elaboration/Stabilizing*
Construction/*Building* *Transition/Ready to move in*
(requirements * the architecture the
house *(in production and for use)
know what you want) (foundation
(drywall, doors, windows)
and the frame )
My 0.02 cents
