I really agree with Brian on this, I like this picture a lot and it definitely has a place somewhere in OpenUP. But I do not believe it captures the essence of what we want to express in a lifecycle diagram.

On the other hand the "lifecycle diagram" (that started this thread) is the picture above the WBS that is labeled Workflow on the Lifecycle page. I think this diverges too much from the focus of "what is the lifecycle?" and instead covers "what's it all about?" Especially the ones without the phases. I like the picture though. A lot. Perhaps this is a missing graphic at the top of the Core Principles page. Did we add Daily Meetings as a definitive, default characteristic of applying OpenUP/Basic? Back to the lifecycle diagram, I think it can have iterations added somehow. Perhaps just in a more aesthetically pleasing version of what Steve scrawled or perhaps someone has a more innovative representation. Though the Lifecycle page does not call it out, WBS elements are understood to have Work Product Usage in addition to the task-centric perspective. I'd love for us to get the focus on the ever growing product in there (as suggested by Scott). Of course we don't have a Work Product called Product, just the Build. Maybe something like Ana's ever-growing blocks could fit into the Lifecycle Diagram. BTW, do we need a side discussion on the Entry State and Exit State and Deliverable columns on the Work Product Usage? That sounds like something that could add a little more clarity to the process. ------- b -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ana Valente Pereira Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 5:38 AM To: Steve Adolph Cc: Eclipse Process Framework Project Developers List Subject: Re: [epf-dev] Lifecycle diagram revision just some ideas ... modified from a picture I saw for something else... ..
