This is the general framework which is used to define how a project will be built and deployed.

  • Communication
  • Planning
  • Modeling
  • Construction
  • Deployment

Umbrella Activities

Under the Framework activities are a number of umbrella activities to help manage and control progress, quality, change, and risk. Often people will use tools, or assume that a tool is what solves the problem – however, a tool is only as good as the person wielding it.

  • Project Tracking
  • Risk Management
  • Quality Assurance
  • Technical Reviews
  • Measurement
  • Software Configuration management
  • Reuseability management
