Prepare Environment for Project

The purposes of preparing the environment for a project are:

  • Assess the current development organization.

  • Assess the current tools support.

  • Develop a first draft of the development case.

  • Produce a list of candidate tools to use for development

  • Produce a list of candidate project-specific templates for key artifacts.

Prepare Environment for an Iteration

The purposes of preparing the environment for an iteration include the following:

  • Complete the development case to be ready for the iteration.

  • Prepare and if necessary customize tools to use within an iteration.

  • Verify that the tools have been configured and installed correctly.

  • Produce a set of project-specific templates to use within the iteration.

  • Train people to use and understand the tools and the development case.

For every iteration, it is necessary to prepare guidelines for the following activities and artifacts:

  • Business modeling

  • Use-case modeling

  • Design

  • Programming

  • Manual styleguide

  • User interface

  • Tests

  • Tools

By analyzing problems and defects in the previous iteration, you understand what needs to be done better and can take that into account when preparing guidelines for the next iteration.

Support Environment for an Iteration

The developers need support in their use of tools and process during an iteration.
