Frameworks & Models
The reusable structures behind tailoring: what you can tailor, the five actions on processes, who you engage, the project attributes you weigh, and the development-approach spectrum.
Framework A · What to tailor — 5 aspects
Life Cycle & Approach
Life cycle, phases, and predictive / iterative / incremental / adaptive / hybrid mix.
Processes
Add, modify, remove, blend or align process elements.
Engagement
Who is involved, how empowered, how integrated as one team.
Tools
Software & equipment suited to the work — tempered by cost.
Methods & Artifacts
Means of working plus documents, templates & outputs.
Framework B · Five process-tailoring actions
Framework C · Engagement (P·E·I)
- People — match skills/experience to the work; staff hard projects with experienced members.
- Empowerment — how much local decision-making to defer to the team.
- Integration — forge one team from staff, contractors & partners.
Framework D · Tailor for the project (P·T·C)
- Product/Deliverable — criticality, type, market, technology, time frame, requirements stability, security, incremental delivery.
- Project Team — size, geography, distribution, experience, access to customer.
- Culture — buy-in, trust, empowerment, value alignment.
Model E · The development-approach spectrum
Scope known up front. Plan in detail; reserves absorb risk. Best for well-understood, low-change work.
A blend across workstreams — e.g. predictive build plus iterative discovery on one endeavour.
Requirements evolve. Plan iteratively; adjust plans & use reserves as understanding grows.
