I see your concern. We don't want to be heavy handed when assigning 
elements to a discipline - for simplicity reasons and also because 
disciplines are supposed to organize tasks.
Another possibility is to use custom categories - instead of disciplines 
which are standard categories - in order to organize these elements and 
create appropriate views for the published web site.

Still the question remains on how many elements are too many. Maybe this 
is a good topic for a break-out session during the next face-to-face 
meeting.

[epf-dev] How Much Guidance Attached to Each Discipline?






hiho,
 
I added in the reference workflows and related guidance items to the 
Discipline: Test method element. 
 
I just went whole-hog and put in every guidance item related to the 
testing stuff.  I wonder if that is too heavy handed.  And something that 
won?t scale up.  It might be nice for every work product to have a 
checklist; do all the checklists get thrown in the treeview under the 
discipline?  It might be good to have a number of examples for each work 
product and organizations extending the process might have a number of 
examples per work product; should all that be thrown right under the 
discipline in the published process?
 
This sounds like another authoring guideline that might not be a 100% 
common EPF authoring guideline, but an OpenUP-specific authoring rule. 
Either ?attach all guidelines related to a discipline to the discipline?. 
Or ?attach all guidelines except checklists that are specific to one 
method element? or ?attach all guidelines except any that are specific to 
one method element?.
 
I suppose when we are saying that we could also be explicit to say ?attach 
to the discipline all capability patterns that utilize any task from the 
discipline?.  And by that rule we would have Manage Requirements attached 
to both the requirements discipline and the testing discipline, which I 
think makes sense.
 
BTW, bug 172732 discusses renaming that capability pattern.
 
Any thoughts?
