Package contents

File NameCategoryDescription
PFD.iprojSample ProjectThis is a sample that defines an example of a process definition.
PFD.iprotTemplateThis is a template that allows you to easily start writing process definitions, especially PFDs.
PFD.iprofProfileProcess definition profile. You can also import it into any project.

List of figures that can be described

  • Indicates diagrams that can be described in this package.
PictureDescription
Process flow diagramYou can describe PFD. The deliverables defined in the deliverable structure diagram can be defined as inputs and outputs of the process.
requirement modelallows you to define requirements for your process.
Workproduct structureYou can define deliverables. You can visualize the deliverables of each process and their relationships.
Artifact class diagramYou can define the structure of your deliverables. You can define the contents to be described in the deliverable as classes and attributes.
Organization chartAs part of the role definition, you can define relationships between roles.

Describeable model overview

  • Arbitrary structures can be organized by adding packages in the model navigator.
  • You can add each diagram, process and deliverables under the package and describe the process definition.
    • Added elements are placed under packages and diagrams.
  • You can also define roles, guidelines, and deliverable templates to execute the process.

Process Flow

image

Overview

  • A process flow can define a process and its input/output deliverables graphically.
    • Define processes, deliverables, deliverables, roles, requirements and guidelines.
  • By dragging and dropping roles from the model navigator to the diagram, you can define the primary contact and stakeholders to fulfill the process.
  • By dragging and dropping the guidelines from the model navigator to the diagram, you can define the guidelines that the artifacts and processes refer to.

Restrictions

  • Numbers for processes and deliverables are not visible on the diagram. Check it in the details view of the sub-editor.
  • Processes with a hierarchical structure cannot be expressed (double circle).
  • It is not possible to change to a shape (symbol) according to the type of deliverable.
  • Triggers cannot be written.

Requirement Model

image

Overview

  • Can describe requirements for processes and deliverables.
    • Requirements can be subdivided and described in a hierarchical structure.
  • Requirements defined in the requirement model can be placed in process flow diagrams and deliverable system diagrams.
    • You can define traces with requirements by defining relationships between requirements and processes and artifacts.

workproduct structure

image

Overview

  • You can define deliverables for each process. You can also define dependencies between artifacts.
    • Define folders, deliverables, deliverables, templates, guidelines and requirements.
  • You can also define the relationship between artifacts and templates by dragging and dropping template models from the model navigator to diagrams.
  • You can also define the relationship between deliverables and requirements by adding requirements models to the diagram by dragging and dropping them from the model navigator.

Artifact Class

image

Overview

  • You can define the structure of the deliverables defined in the deliverable structure. Classes and attributes can define what should be written in artifacts.
    • You can define deliverables, content and requirements.
    • You can define relationships (derived, owned, inherited, related) between artifacts and their content.
    • Attributes can be used to define what to include in deliverables and content.
  • You can also define the relationship between deliverables and contents and requirements by adding requirements models to the diagram by dragging and dropping them from the model navigator.

Restrictions

  • Because it is a simple diagram that uses the UML class diagram notation, it does not support strict notation based on the UML standard.
    • Basic attributes of classes such as stereotypes and abstract types cannot be defined.
    • Relations that can be defined between classes are also limited.

common definitions

Role Definition and Organization Chart

image

Overview
  • You can define roles and their responsibilities.
  • You can define relationships between teams (organizations) and roles as a system chart.
    • You can define members (roles) and teams (organizations).
    • You can define relationships (dependency, inheritance) between members.

List of Guidelines

image

Overview
  • You can define guidelines that your deliverables and processes refer to.
  • Guidelines defined in the guideline list can also be placed in process flow diagrams and deliverable system diagrams.
    • By defining the relationship between processes and deliverables, it is possible to illustrate which guidelines should be referred to in each.

Template list

image

Overview
  • Ability to define artifact templates.
  • Templates defined in the template list can also be placed in the deliverable system chart.
    • By defining relationships with artifacts, you can illustrate which template should be used.

Code list

image

Overview
  • You can define code for processes.
    • Please define and use any identification code such as process.
