Ask a question

Can I incorporate other EPF processes (e.g., Scrum)

I searched online and dug through the help, but couldn't figure out how to use the EPF downloads and incorporate them into Jazz so I could create a project area using the Scrum template.

Is this possible at this time? If so, can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks...Millard

What you can produce with EPF is the documentation of Jazz enactable
processes. Export the process content that you develop with EPF as HTML
pages. Then associate the zip archive of these pages with a Jazz Process
template.

What you don't get from EPF process content is the concrete 'formal'
specification that jazz can enact such as a jazz-digestible
specification of the work flow of the work item types, or the permission
specification per role and operation, or which precondition checks
should be performed on SCM deliver operations. (At RSDC last summer we
demonstrated how this gap between EPF/RMC and Jazz could be bridged in
the future. I explained that in a post a while back in this forum.)

Here is what I would do to get closer to a project area with a Scrum
process: I would create a new Jazz process template and associated it
with the documentation exported from EPF. I would copy the process
specification and the process iterations description from the 'eclipse
way' and incrementally change it to what I need.

I'd be interested to learn more about your efforts.

Cheers, Kai

I'm pretty deeply involved with the QSE Disciplined Agile efforts and looking for "internal" tools I can use (and point folks to). We do a module on Scrum as part of the Disciplined Agile training and Scrum seems to be the approach most commonly used by teams (inside IBM and in the industry in general).

I was hoping to do a "mashup" and take the EPF Scrum stuff and the RTC and *poof* have working a Scrum template.

Not all of my Christmas wishes will be coming true. :wink:

I will be looking at how much effort it will take to grow my own Scrum template along the guidelines you mention. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will dig around and see if I can find the post you mentioned.
