1. AIM for Business Flows (ABF) utilized iterative conference room pilots (CRPs)
to initially map the client's business to the standard Oracle Business Flows and
to refine/tailor the business solution to the specific requirements of the project.
2. However, most of the other elements of the ABF approach were more waterfall
than interative. OUM is a true iterative approach. Virtually any and all activities
and tasks are performed in an iterative fashion based on an iteration plan
developed by the project manager.
3. While any OUM task or activity can be iterated as necessary to meet project
objectives, keep in mind is that you should do only what is necessary to meet
the project objectives - nothing more. Make the method serve you - not the
other way around.
5. It is in name only that JCDM was limited to J2EE. JCDM’s framers designed
the method to be technology agnostic. JCDM, and therefore OUM, provides a
broadly applicable, yet cohesive collection of activities, tasks, artifacts, roles and
responsibilities, and guidelines for technology-based business solutions. In the
transition from JCDM, OUM immediately became the single method for technical
architecture, technology implementation, and custom software development at
Oracle.
OUM’s Manage Focus Area provides a framework in which all types of projects
can be planned, estimated, controlled, and completed in a consistent manner.
Oracle's Project Management Method (PJM) and Oracle’s Program Management
Method (PGM) are part of the Manage Focus Area.
OUM provides a Supplemental Guide for SOA. Guidance is provided at the task
level for activities that need to occur during a custom development or technology-
based engagement when SOA and Integration tools are being delivered.
The training courses consist of several modules and an assessment test. The
training can be taken on-line or downloaded and taken off-line at your leisure.
The OUM training courses will be incrementally developed and released during
CY2008.
