Introduction
This guideline identifies concerns that should be addressed when preparing project-specific reuse guidelines.
Asset-Based Development Workflows
The workflows that describe how to produce and consume assets should be reviewed and possibly refined for a given
project.
Reuse Feedback
Providing feedback on assets is crucial to the life of the asset and its future reusability. Artifact: Reuse Feedback should be reviewed in the context of a
project and refined, as needed.
Also, since potential assets can be identified via the feedback, the content of the Reuse Feedback for the project
should be reviewed briefly to ensure there is sufficient information captured to pass along to asset producers (i.e.,
asset artifact developer or asset packager) and others.
Asset Packaging Guidelines
Guidelines should be developed that describe how assets are to be packaged. These guidelines should address naming
conventions, anticipated documentation, artifacts, and their format, classification schemas and other packaging values.
Asset Tool Guidance
The reuse guidelines for the project should reflect the tooling provided to support reuse activities on the project.
For more information on tooling to support reuse, see Guideline: Selecting Asset-Based Development Tools.
Asset/Artifact Versioning Policy
Guidelines for versioning assets should be defined for the project. These guidelines may discuss naming conventions,
merging strategies, and techniques for applying updated assets onto a project.
Asset-Based Development Process
Element Mapping
You may need to produce a mapping from the asset-based development method elements (roles, tasks, work products) to
their process. Identify those places within your process that the asset-based development tasks (i.e., apply asset, and
so on) should be conducted.
Domain-Specific Policies and Guidelines
A project may need to follow the guidelines from a specific domain. These guidelines should be reviewed and identified
for the specific project.
Reusable Asset Survey
Each project should understand the gap between the assets it needs and those that are available.
Reuse Adoption and Incentive Plan
The incentive plan for using existing assets should be defined for the project to ensure the project is able to
leverage the proper resources.
Reuse Assessment
A Prepare Reuse Assessment should be prepared to determine the organization's ability
to either produce or consume assets for the project.
Reuse Strategy
The organization's reuse strategy should be considered to determine the project's compliance with the stated strategy.
