Development Organization
- Development Organization
- any organization
that develops one or more
work products
(primarily an
application, a set of
components,
and associated documentation and test software) for one or more
customer organization(s)
As illustrated in the preceding figure, Development Organization is part of the following inheritance hierarchy:
The typical responsibilities of a Development Organization are to:
- Sign legal documents (e.g., contract, statement of work).
- Elicit needs and project objectives from the customer and user organizations.
- Develop the work products.
- Deliver the work products to the customer organization.
- Deploy applications to
user organizations.
- The development organization and other organizations may
belong either to the same or to different businesses.
- Like the same person playing multiple roles or being a
member of multiple teams, the same business division may be
modeled as a development organization as well as a:
- Customer organization if it funds the development of the work products it produces.
- User organization if it builds work products for itself.
- Operations organization if it operates the applications it produces.
- Maintenance organization if it maintains the work products it produces.
- The development organization typically uses the OPEN
Process Framework (OPF) to construct its development process.
- The development organization typically inherits the
common guidelines from the
organization method component.
