How can my team begin using IconProcess Plug-ins?
Any successful use of process must include tailoring and carefully introducing new best practices and activities. In a nutshell, here’s what works: • Assess your current situation and find the areas that are causing the most difficulty. Usually, one or more best practices or process plug-ins can help. • Identify the roles, concepts, activities, and artifacts that address your immediate needs. • Buy the related process plug-ins. • Identify skill gaps and follow a plan to build the skills you need. Your success ultimately depends on your team members’ skills. • Establish a plan for introducing complementary parts of the process. Adapt new aspects over time – do not try to do it all at once. One final tip: use a mentor to help you tailor, apply, and spread the new techniques within your team and then to other projects.
