  4. What Development Teams Are Facing Today Article on serialized java beans Website with Configuration mgmt guidelines Project plan templates • No common language or terminology between processes - redundancy and inconsistencies • Knowledge cannot easily be customized for different projects or new best practices • No central community or communication framework to facilitate convergence of best practices across domains Book on J2EE Lessons learnt from previous project and iteration JUnit user guide Wiki on agile development Latest research on effectiveness of pair programming Knowledge base on managing iterative development Corporate guidelines on compliance Made available under EPL v1.0

  5. A Better Approach Standardize representation and manage libraries of reusable Method Content Develop and manage Processesfor performing projects Content on agile development JUnit user guidance Lessons learnt from previous project and iteration Process assetspatterns Content on managing iterative development Content on J2EE Standard or reference processes Corporate guidelines on compliance Configuration mgmt guidelines Project plan templates Guidance on serialized java beans Configurea cohesive process framework customized for my project needs Create project plan templates for Enactmentof process in the context of my project Made available under EPL v1.0

  6. Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) Project Provide an open and collaborative ecosystem for evolving software development processes Provide sample practices, process tooling and a metamodel, that can be used as the foundation for a large variety of processes to address IT needs Uses the Eclipse community to gain wide acceptance of the framework Made available under EPL v1.0

  9. EPF: Growing Ecosystem Co-developers Supporters Made available under EPL v1.0

  10. Why Should Agile Community Care About EPF? • Facilitate development of a consolidated agile framework • Let the community evolve content to reflect what works • Combine the best from different processes • Make agile development mainstream in large organizations • Documented and auditable processes • Powerful delivery platform • Large organizations participating in EPF provides assurance • Move from big documented processes to ‘instrumented’ micro-processes • Intelligent and non-intrusive process facilitation (compare Java Developer Tools Quick-fix) Made available under EPL v1.0

  11. Agenda • What is EPF? • EPF Composer • OpenUP • Other agile methods • EPF and Wikis • Futures • Summary Made available under EPL v1.0

  12. EPF Composer Capabilities • Create reusable method content • Roles, tasks, artifacts, guidelines, examples, templates • Create reusable process patterns • E.g. design, implement and test a scenario • Create processes for different project types • Create derivative method content and processes • Upgrade to new baseline of method content and processes • Integration: XML, MS Project, API, … Made available under EPL v1.0

  13. Manage textual IC and reusable method content. Made available under EPL v1.0

  14. Easy to use, form-based rich-text editing capabilities. Made available under EPL v1.0

  15. Workflow Workflow Breakdown / Iterations / Increments / Sprints / Waterfall Assemble processes with reusable method content and process patterns. Consistent management of WBS and Activity diagrams. Made available under EPL v1.0

  16. OpenUP applying four RUP phases lifecycle model OpenUP specific management approach Scrum-like process with a lifecycle model using Sprints Scrum specific management approach Capability Pattern reused from OpenUP method plug-in Made available under EPL v1.0

  17. Demo • Create a new plug-in • Create a new task (prototype UI) and an artifact (UI interface) • Add new task to existing capability pattern • View end-to-end (delivery) process • View results Made available under EPL v1.0

  18. Agenda • What is EPF? • EPF Composer • OpenUP • Other agile methods • EPF and Wikis • Futures • Summary Made available under EPL v1.0

  19. What Is OpenUP/Basic? An iterative software development process that is minimal, complete, and extensible. • Minimal - only fundamental content is included • Complete - can be manifested as an entire process to build a system • Extensible - can be used as a foundation on which process content can be added or tailored as needed Made available under EPL v1.0

Harvesting best practices Emerging practices … Tacit Knowledge Wiki … EPF and Wiki Technology Made available under EPL v1.0

  30. Opportunities with Wiki • Rapidly gather useful feedback by writing comments associated around content (lock content from editing) • Build communities around key content areas (lock editing to be centered around dedicated topics) • Rapidly gather useful feedback by directly editing process content • Improve process content without learning the metamodel or Composer • Capture process related experiences through harvesting Made available under EPL v1.0
