ABSTRACT
The purpose of the Environment workflow is to configure the processes, tools, standards, and guidelines to be used by your project team. As you see in Figure 6.1, which depicts the enhanced lifecycle of the Unified Process, most Environment workflow effort occurs during the Inception and Elaboration phases. The Environment workflow encompasses several major efforts, including the tailoring of your organization's software process to meet the unique needs of your project, choosing the standards and guidelines that your project team will follow, and selecting the tools that your team will use.
