Tutorial: Working with Processes

Exercise: Use A Capability Pattern

The goal of this exercise is to create a new delivery process using Capability Patterns.

We will add some Capability Patterns to the Delivery Process you created in one of the previous tutorials.

To add a Capability Pattern using Copy:

  1. Switch to the Authoring perspective and open the My RUP delivery process you created in Exercise 3.

    2.  

  2. In the Configurations View click Processes > Capability Patterns > Classic RUP > Discipline Workflows > Project Management.

    3.  

  3. Drag and drop the Project Management Capability Pattern onto the Inception phase in My RUP delivery process.

    4.  

  4. Select Copy in the pop-up box.

    5.  

  5. Expand one of the activities in the Project Management capability pattern to the Task level. Note that the task name is displayed in black. This indicates that the task is available for you to edit. Any changes in the Capability Pattern will not be reflected in your process. You can edit the task in the Properties view.

To add a Capability Pattern using Extends:

  1. Create a new Phase in the My RUP delivery process. Right-click on the first row and select New Child > Phase . Call the phase "Elaboration".

    2.  

  2. Create a new Iteration in the Elaboration phase. Right-click on the Elaboration phase and select New Child > Iteration . Call the iteration "Elaboration Iteration 1".

    3.  

  3. In the Configurations View, click Processes > Capability Patterns > Classic RUP > Discipline Workflows > Project Management.

    4.  

  4. Drag and drop the Project Management Capability Pattern onto the Elaboration Iteration 1 iteration in My RUP Process.

    5.  

  5. Select Extend in the pop-up box.

    6.  

  6. Expand one of the activities in the Project Management capability pattern you have just added to the Task level. Note that the task name is displayed in green italics. This indicates that the task is in a part of a process defined elsewhere in a Capability Pattern. Any changes to the Capability Pattern will be reflected in your process. Also, the Properties view shows the task details, but they cannot be edited.

    7.  

  7. Right click on a task in the extended capability pattern and select Suppress . The task is grayed out. The task will not appear in the published version of the delivery process, nor will it be included in an export of the process.
