Rick, Others may chime into this, but I think the rationale for organizing the methods (as you ask below) was straightforward, IMHO. We wanted to show examples of methods captured in EPF. For example, Scrum and XP content does not use some of the method constructs (such as disciplines). Other methods, such as OpenUP, leverage practices from Scrum and XP and also use other structural elements such as disciplines, domains, phased WBS, etc. No right or wrong way of doing it (again IMHO) - just different examples of how one can leverage the process framework provided by EPF.
I hope this helps address some of your questions. Ricardo. From: richard.mur...@gsa.gov To: epf-dev@eclipse.org Date: 01/31/2011 01:26 PM Subject: [epf-dev] method comparison of up, xp and scrum Sent by: epf-dev-boun...@eclipse.org I recently psoted the follpwing question to the EPF forum, but received no response. Would anyone here have an insight ? Would anyone involved in earlier discussions on creating the content for the xp and scrum method libraries be able to say why decisions were made to select only one discipline (scrum_activities) for the scrum method library and no disciplines for the xp method library? If the answer is something to the effect that we're like constitutional scholars and the approach to embedding the method content in the method library is very formal and the methods do not formally acknowledge disciplines, I understand. However, I thought tailoring consistent with the intent of the unified process. If I remember correctly, that would be the role of the process engineer. Assuming the decisions made as reflected in the current method libraries, how do the method library authors of the xp and scrum method libraries intend to represent the juxtaposition of what should be abstracted disciplines against phases as in the up hump chart which seems essential to the nature of iterative, incremental methods?
