| <h3> |
| XP Roles and Tasks |
| </h3> |
| <p> |
| XP defines a more limited set of roles and tasks than Unified Process. The XP roles usually have much broader scope |
| than Unified Process roles. There is a definite push in XP to move away from specialization where only one person on a |
| team has knowledge of specific and critical parts of the system or technology. The consequence is that the XP roles |
| usually map to more than one Unified Process role. Some Unified Process roles/tasks/artifacts do not map to anything in |
| XP as XP has a somewhat smaller scope than Unified Process. |
| </p> |
| <h4> |
| Definition of Roles and Tasks in Unified Process |
| </h4> |
| <p> |
| <b>Roles</b> are typically realized by an individual or a set of individuals working together as a team. A project team |
| member typically fulfills many different roles. <b>Roles</b> are not individuals; instead, they describe how |
| individuals behave in the business and what responsibilities these individuals have. While most roles are realized by |
| people within the organization, people outside of the development organization play an important role. A <b>role</b> is |
| an abstract definition of a set of <b>tasks</b> performed and <b>artifacts</b> generated. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <b>Roles</b> have a set of cohesive&nbsp;<b>tasks</b> to be performed. These&nbsp;<b>tasks</b> are closely related and |
| functionally coupled and are often best performed by the same individual.&nbsp;Tasks are closely related to |
| <b>artifacts</b>. Artifacts provide the input and output for the&nbsp;tasks and the mechanism by which information is |
| communicated between tasks. |
