UMP
  Development Process
         Implementation Activity 		<< previous task | next task >>

 

Task goals To define formal methods and supporting tools which should be used in the project
Procedure
  1. Development manager: Requests developers to propose methods and tools for the project. The project constraints should be explicitly explained in the request.
  2. Developers: Propose the appropriate methods and tools, based on their successful experience and meeting the project constraints.
  3. Development manager: Defines methods and tools for the project taking into consideration the developers' proposals.
  4. Development manager and Developers: Conduct Technical Review of the methods and tools defined. The goal is to agree and confirm with developers on the methods and tools.
  5. Project Manager: If necessary, agrees with the project participants, other than developers, on methods and tools. This could be done as part of the Software development plan agreement task.
  6. Project Manager: Publishes the corrected and approved methods and tools.
  7. Project Manager: If necessary organizes training course for developers in the chosen methods and tools.
