====== Use process modules ====== | ====== Use process modules ====== | ||
- | Engineering processes | + | To efficiently manage a large process landscape, it can be broken down into modules. These modules can be connected |
+ | |||
+ | Typical process modules are Requirements Engineering, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The only difference between a process and a process module is that a process module can be added to other processes or process modules, whereas a process can not be added anywhere else. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Define a process module ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A process module resides in a workspace just like a normal process. In fact, the only thing that differentiates | ||

+ | ===== Adding process modules to a process | ||
+ | |||
+ | Only specific versions of process modules can be added to other processes. This increases | ||

+ | Although it is technically possible to add the Working Version of a module to a process, it is not recommended to do so, because the content | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Update process modules ===== | ||
- | **Ex.** A car manufacturer has three different versions of a model. The differences in the models are the engines. The same process of making the body of the car is in all of the models. The entire process for the car was created and then the modules | + | - Spot the outdated |
- | //Probably need a better example ^^^^^// | + | - Update them one by one or multiple in sequence |
- | TBD | + | ===== Remove process modules ===== |
- | Just like a system or a system of systems, processes can be broken down into modules that are connected by interfaces. Benefits of using process modules are that changes can be applied quicker with less risk for the overall system, and review and approval cycels can be reduced allowing for quicker use, feedback, and improvement of the system. | + | - Remove them |
- | Process | + | ===== Define interfaces between |
- | Through the module-based approach, changes can be made instantly into all process instances, instead of having to wait for next publication of overall process documentation. | + | - Remote associations |
- | ^^^ I will put this in a better order and transitions later | + | - Become normal associations when both modules are added to one process |
