Description

EPF Composer uses a forms-based approach to defining method content (such as roles, tasks, and work products) in an Eclipse IDE. Method content is then configured into process patterns using various breakdown structures and activity models. The process patterns are in turn assembled into complete processes. Processes can then be published as a website.

Method content is comprised of:

	Roles, tasks, work products
	Disciplines, domains
	Guidance (checklists, templates, examples, guidelines, etc)

Processes are configurations of method content arranged by:

	Phases, iterations, activities
	Milestones, team profiles
	Guidance (checklists, templates, examples, guidelines, etc)

EPF Composer is accompanied by OpenUP, a base process for small, co-located development teams that can be extended and customized to each organization’s needs.
