Process Guidelines for Teams

  • Introduction of the participants
  • Reading of the documents
  • List of discussion subjects (each member can add questions/points to the list).
  • Planning of discussion. This includes planning of the domain expert. List unclear requirements, open questions, proposals, design drawing notation.
  • Discussion. This discussion should try to follow the planning.
  • Sketch of object design models. Sketch the models using a common design technique (such as OMT) and highlight patterns. Allow multiple models to develop in parallel.
  • Visit other group(s).
  • List fudge areas--the areas where there is a disagreement or where choices are made without a solid basis.
  • Try to evaluate design models on their strengths and weaknesses.
