Process Management and Enactment
The engine of lifecycle management
 Improve quality and predictability by
leveraging proven practices and
patterns of success
 Quickly and easily compose rightsized project/team processes and
deploy process, methods and tools
to project
 Surface process guidance in-context
directly within practitioner tools to
speed on-boarding, process
adoption and return on investment
in Rational tools
 Simplify compliance with pre-defined methods and mappings to industry standards and
regulations
 Increase productivity and turn “know-how” into competitive advantage

Practices - modular solution components
Guidance for software & systems development, management, governance, and
more
 A practice is an approach to solving one or several
commonly occurring problems
– Practices are intended as "chunks" of process for
adoption, enablement, and configuration
– Address one aspect of the development process that can
span disciplines/domains/lifecycle.
 Practices apply the concepts of “components” or “services”
to process management
– Include associated tool guidance and tool configuration
assets
– Include recommended metrics to assess practice
adoption (process metrics) and project status
(product/project metrics)
– Generally re-usable across a variety of lifecycle models
 Practices enable a compositional approach
to building methods with the following benefits:
– Adaptability and scalability
– Mapped to operational objectives
– Incremental adoption
– Easy to configure and use
– Enable community development

Practice - Table of Contents
 Motivation – why do it, benefits
 How to adopt this practice
 Enablement, and reference material
 Key Concepts
 Work Products – what you produce
 Tasks – what you do
 Guidance – how you do it
 Tools guidance for executing the tasks
 Recommended Metrics/Measurements
 Related practices
Results:
 Avoids self-inflicting too much process
 Faster and more predictable results
 Measured Improvement
