| Topics - Description - Related Information - Timing - Optionality - How to Staff - Work Guidelines |
Description
- defining how the project is going to use the configured development process.
- developing a development case describing deviations of the underlying process.
- qualifying artifact selections with timing and formality requirements.
- preparing project-specific assets, like guidelines and templates, according to the development case.
- producing a list of candidate tools to use for development.
Related Information
This section provides links to additional information related to this workflow detail.
Timing
Preparing the environment for the project is done during the Inception phase. Any subsequent work done to improve and complete the prepared environment is described in Workflow Detail: Prepare Environment for Iteration.
Optionality
It is recommended to always spend some time preparing your development environment based on the specific needs of the project.
How to Staff
The activities in this workflow detail are best carried out by a small team, staffed by individuals with a good general knowledge of the development process. If the organization has a dedicated process group focusing on process and development environment, the Process Engineer role is often staffed from this group. Background information about the state of the development organization is often collected prior to project startup and documented in Artifact: Development Organization Assessment.
