 |
| Method Composer is generic term that is used to apply to EPF Composer and its extensions, such as Rational (R) Method
 |
| Composer.&nbsp; Method Composer has two purposes:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| 1. To provide a knowledge base of intellectual capital.&nbsp; This knowledge base can be used for reference and
 |
| education.&nbsp; It can be used to communicate best practices across an organization in a consistent form.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| 2. To provide process engineering capabilities by supporting process engineers and project managers in selecting,
 |
| tailoring, and rapidly assembling processes for different kinds of development projects. Method Composer provides
 |
| catalogs of pre-defined processes for typical project situations that can be adapted to individual needs. It also
 |
| provides process building blocks that represent best development practices for specific disciplines, technologies, or
 |
| development styles. These building blocks form a toolkit for quickly assembling processes based on project specific
 |
| needs. The resulting processes created with Method Composer can be published and deployed as Web sites.
