New practice "Project Process Tailoring", in order to provide basic coverage for the Environment discipline.
New practice "Method Development". This practice replaces the "Method Authoring Method" (MAM). The new
practice consolidates and updates authoring guidelines, and integrates the content into the EPF Practices library.

Other minor bug fixes.
1.5.0.4
Bugzilla 281165 - Renamed practice "two-level project planning" to "release planning".
Bugzilla 285042 - Renamed "software design" and "software implementation" slots to "technical design" and "technical
implementation".
Bugzilla 268148 - Moved build artifact to "core.tech.common".
Many minor bug fixes.
1.5
This is the initial release of the practices library, which is included as part of the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF)
1.5.
Most of the open source content derives from OpenUP 1.0, refactored to support independent practices.
These are the key new features in the core:
-
Work product slots to allow practices to be independent of each other.
-
Default navigation view that ad hoc configurations of practices can be published easily with a view.
-
Guidance and work products reusable across practices have been moved into common plug-ins.
-
Category, role, and tool definitions separated into separate plug-ins to allow them to be easily removed and
replaced by alternative categorizations.
RMC extension

-
Removed "Detail System Wide Requirements" task descriptor from "Understand Stakeholder Needs"
activity, under Requirements Discipline capability pattern

Some work product inputs and outputs were suppressed from task descriptors. These suppressions have been removed.
Affected tasks and work products were:
-
-
"System Wide Requirements" work product descriptor; "Identify and Outline Requirements" task descriptor
-
"Project Risk" and "Project Work" work product descriptors; "Define Test Strategy" and "Identify Test
Ideas" task descriptors
-
"Test Findings" work product descriptor; "Analyze Test Failure" task descriptor
-
"Project Defined Process" work product descriptor; "Tailor the Process", "Adapt the Process", and "Deploy
the Process" task descriptors
3. Un-checked the "Jazz Enactment" flag for the following roles:
-
Reviewer
-
Review Coordinator
-
Any Role
4. Tool mentors:
-
Updated links to most current Rational info center pages

9. Team of Teams practice
-
"Project Level" tasks and artifact "extend-and-replace" the ones in Iterative Development practice

"Team Level" tasks and artifact added at that level (i.e. variability to Iterative Development
practice elements were removed). These elements at the team level have an inline link to the project
level ones for more information.
10. Removal of references to obsolete RUP work products
References to Software Development Plan, Supplementary Specification, and some references to Development Case have been
removed from the IT practices. Development Case remains as a possible representation of a project defined
process.
