My Experiences on Development Methodology Workshop Day II

Well the second day of workshop started with review of previous day's work done.... My group the VMS Solutions group was ready with reviewed class diagram. Our Mentor cum Customer-Mr. Parag Shah reviewed the refined class diagram and gave us the green signal to start the next phase of RUP - the construction phase. We had planned to implement the GUI part of the Visitor Management System which can provide the look and feel of the actual system. We developed one "Visual Basic Form" as a part of this activity. We as a team were very eager to work for this phase as nobody in our team had formal training in VB 6.0. So this was a new learning for all of us. We learnt little bit of how to create classes, functions, GUI forms etc in VB 6.0 and ultimately at the end of the day we were able to implement one tiny funtionality of the system.
In this workshop we also had chance to get hands on experience of Rational Method Composer 7.5(RMC) . It is a tool from IBM Rational which helps the project teams to define/customize RUP process templates according to their requirements. RMC is built upon eclipse enviornment hence it is easy to use and understand. Using RMC, we defined the RUP process templates and prepared the acitivity diagrams for all the phases of RUP viz. Inception Phase, Elaboration Phase, Construction Phase and Transition Phase. This was really nice thing that I can add to my CV :-).
