Any comments in regards to UML or Rhapsody will only be in the nature of providing information. ● Initially, all opinions of strengths and weaknesses will be recorded without criticism or extensive discussion. ● Break out groups will be organized to arrive at a consensus on the lists created.

5. Smith’s Aerospace © P. Bailey & K. Vander Linden, 2005 5 Going forward … If the consensus is to explore UML and Rhapsody further, the facilitators will provide an overview of known best practices in implementing new tools in an organization. The developers will determine a recommendation with specific guidance on the continued training, approach for implementation and supporting roles.
