Getting Started
Understand the basic building blocks of methods and how to define and customize them. Implement your method
assets and publish a method configuration that can be reviewed by your stakeholders.
As you apply the recommendations described in the practice, capture what you have learned, what worked for your team
and what didn't so that you can continually fine-tune how your team applies the practice.
Common Pitfalls
Following are some common pitfalls when adopting this practice:
-
Spending too much time developing method assets to get them "perfect" before trying them out with real project
work. Define just enough to get started and then gather feedback for improvement from teams as they use the assets.
-
Creating too many method assets at too fine-grained a level can overwhelm and confuse teams. Confirm that you
understand the requirements for each asset and how it will help project teams before investing a lot of time in
development.
