hiho,

 

We should discuss the appropriate structure of the text for the Brief
Descriptions of the disciplines.

 

In response to bug 168723
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168723>  I was looking to
add a Brief Description to the Implementation discipline and I wasn't
too psyched with the styles that we are using.  Some of the discipline
descriptions start with "This discipline defines the minimal tasks
required to..." (requirements, test).  Some start with "This discipline
explains how to..." (A&D, CM).  At this point the published process does
not have a Brief Description for PM or Implementation.

 

At a metamodel level Tasks can be in multiple disciplines, but our
OpenUP convention has had each Task is in one discipline.  Each Guidance
element can be assigned to multiple disciplines.  Reference Workflows
can be assigned to multiple disciplines.  We tend to mentally organize
roles in line with disciplines, but that is not strictly the case.

 

So what does a discipline do?  Does it define tasks?  Does it explain
how to do something?  Or - since it is mostly about methodology rather
than process - does it provide techniques?
