        Main Description

        There are several categories of roles for asset management. In general they are:

        • Managers
        • Administrators
        • Practitioners

        Training needs to be provided for each of these classes of roles. Before going into the training relevant to those roles, some introductory training should be provided. This training can include:

        Assets and Reuse Overview

        This should introduce concepts and definitions.

        Reuse Strategy

        This should address the motivations for pursuing asset management. It should also present some success and failure examples, and what the organization will do to learn from that. Overviews from the Reuse Assessment, Reuse Adoption and Incentive Plan, and the Reuse Strategy should be discussed. This should answer why the organization is pursuing the reuse strategy. After this training, there should be training for the following roles.

        Managers

        Managers should receive training on resource management, financial, metrics, organizational, and legal issues. This training should address questions such as: - What organizational structure should be in place? - What is the incentive model? - What measurements should be tracked, and how are they reported?

        Administrators

        Administrators should receive training on the care and feeding of the tools, specifically the repository. The repository deployment and topology model should be discussed. The training should address policies that the organization specifies, such as:

        • Asset versioning policy
        • Asset ownership
        • Asset retirement
        • Asset review and approval
        • Asset procurement
        • Asset types
        • Searching and classification schemas

        Practitioners

        There are many kinds of practitioners, such as analysts, architects, developers, testers and so on. Each of these play asset producer, consumer and reviewer roles relative to the repository. Each of them has specific tools that they will use to work with assets, from Web browsers to development environments.

        The training should describe how to conduct the major functional scenarios for the specific roles. These scenarios include, for example, search, browse, retrieve, submit, review, etc. The training should also discuss how to create reusable assets. It should cover how to make software or a model reusable.
