The effective use of methods in real organizational contexts is frequently hampered by factors including the complexity and size of comprehensive methods, difficulty choosing and applying methods correctly to diverse projects, communicating the necessary method fragments to practitioners in a user friendly way and managing the rapid evolution of the methods to meet changing business and technical requirements.
Based upon earlier work in modeling of methods as an evolving set of inter-related meta data containing definitions of method products, tasks and resources and prototypical tools for the capture, representation, integration, evolution and management of methods, this paper presents a model-based environment in which these concepts are extended to manage the deliverables themselves produced in accordance with the meta descriptions. The proposed approach also embodies the use of intranet technology to replace earlier closed tools as a means of making the methods and their products “live” to project teams and practitioners.
