2182  Advanced Domain Modeling: Architecting for Agility with Color Models *
Together ALM, Methods, and Processes Architecture, Models, and Patterns Best Practices
Type: Regular Session. Level: Beginning.
In 1999, Peter Coad gave the world a variant of UML class modeling that used four colors to denote four class archetypes and a pattern of association of those archetypes he dubbed the "Domain Neutral Component". This session provides new insight into the color-modeling technique gleaned from the work performed in the field on real systems built around the world. Learn how to use Description archetypes with Moment-Intervals, learn when and why to use Role archetypes, understand whole-part relationships within the Domain Neutral Component, learn to "get the Blues" by understanding how to implement common Gang of Four (GoF) patterns using blue Description archetypes. Understand the robustness of the DNC. Learn how to model by subtraction rather than addition. This session gives you the ability to architect for agility and teaches you how to use color-modeling and the DNC to leave functional architecture decisions to the last responsible moment.
Prerequisites: Understanding of UML Class Diagrams and foundation in object-oriented analysis.

2184  Managing Lean Software Development with Cumulative Flow Diagrams
ALM, Methods, and Processes People, Teams and Management
Type: Regular Session. Level: Beginning.
Agile methods such as Scrum and Feature-driven Development (FDD) have adopted the use of graphs that plot the functionality delivered in a release or iteration. Typically, these charts are referred to as "burn down" or, more recently, "burn up" charts. In FDD, they are simply known as Feature-complete Graphs. Cumulative Flow Diagrams (CFDs) are used in Lean Production. Using real examples from the field, learn how to use CFDs with agile and lean software development methods. Learn how to create a CFD and how to plot it daily. Learn how to read the information for the chart and how to use it to steer and control a project on a daily basis. Learn about the S-curve effect and its causes and techniques for reducing its influence. Finally, see how Statistical Process Control charts can be plotted from CFD data and used to provide management with an "early warning" of developing issues within a project.
Prerequisites: Basic understanding of agile development or project management methods
