An Introduction To Process Patterns White Paper

This white paper, introduces the reader to the concept of process patterns, reusable building blocks from which your organization may tailor an object-oriented software process. Just as Design Patterns and Analysis Patterns brought reuse and consistency to the OO modeling process, Process Patterns will bring reuse and consistency to the entire OO software process (OOSP).

In this white paper we will discuss the following issues:

• What is a process pattern?
• Types of process patterns:
• Task process patterns
• Stage process patterns
• Phase process patterns
• Lifecycle process patterns
• Approach process patterns
• Process anti-patterns
