Capability Pattern: Environment |
|
 |
This capability pattern covers the activities and workflow for the Environment discipline. |
|
Purpose
The purpose of the environment activities is to provide the software development organization with the software development
environment, both processes and tools, that support the development team. |
Description
During the early iterations of the project, the project-specific environment is prepared. The project-specific
environment is then refined during each iteration, as needed. |

Decide How to Perform the Workflow
The following decisions should be made regarding the Environment discipline's workflow:
-
Decide how to perform the workflow by looking at the activities in this workflow. Study the diagram with its guard
conditions and the guidelines. Decide which activities to perform and in which order.
-
Decide what parts of the Environment activities to perform. In general, the artifacts in the Environment discipline
are introduced as they are needed. For example, a manual styleguide is developed only if the project will
develop user support material.
-
Decide when, during the project lifecycle, to introduce each part of the workflow. The Project Defined Process is always introduced in the beginning of a
project. Optionally, the Development Case may be used to document the detailed, project-specific
tailoring decisions. A customized delivery process may be imported into Rational Portfolio Manager to aid in
assigning work and tracking progress of the project. The other artifacts are introduced when they are needed.
