Metamodel overview

24744: ◦ Captures what developers do (endeavour) by enhancing expressiveness ◦ Integrate endeavour and method domains (powertype patterns) ◦ Integrate process and product ◦ Address quality and capability issues (Min. Capability. Level attribute) ◦ Support for affordable extensibility (regular OO mechanisms) Summary

Lifecycle diagrams, which represent the overall structure of a method (or part of it). Enactment diagrams, which represent a specific endeavour (or part of it) and its relationship to the corresponding method. Dependency diagrams, which represent the abstract support/dependency relationships among the major components (i. e. producer kinds, work unit kinds and work product kinds) of a methodology. Process diagrams, which describe the details of the process kinds used in a method. Action diagrams, which show the detailed usage interactions between task kinds and work product kinds.
