Time to say good bye to Oracle Application Implementation
Methodology as Oracle is going to remove it this month. Welcome
Oracle Unified Method with new Templates Good thing it will also
standardize BI implementations etc.
The Oracle® Unified Method (OUM) can help you develop and
implement technology-based business
solutions with precise
development and rapid deployment. You can tailor OUM to support your
specific project situation. With its ready-made templates,
guidelines, and scalable work breakdown structure, OUM provides the
programmatic tools you need to manage the risks associated with your
information technology-based projects.
OUM supports the complete
range of technology projects including deep support for Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA), Enterprise Integration, Custom Software,
Identity Management (IdM), and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
Coming to second part of his question, here is Breakup of Activity
in typical Implementation Project
Next post will see the different documents and will do a key
mapping with AIM's deliverable.
ORACLE UNIFIED METHOD (OUM) – ENVISION
The OUM focus area provides a framework for development and
maintenance of enterprise level IT strategy, architecture, and
governance.
The Envision focus area consists of two phases:
- Initiate
-During Initiate, you perform a set of foundational tasks
that have a broad range of objectives and applicability. At one end,
delivering a service based on the Envision Roadmap process can
establish the vision for one or more projects intended to achieve a
focused set of business objectives. On the other end, Initiate phase
processes can be used to establish a broad set of enterprise level IT
processes that are continued in the Maintain and Evolve phase.
- Maintain and Evolve
- The processes and tasks of the Maintain and Evolve phase
bring the work begun during Initiate into the day to day life of the
enterprise. This phase forms the foundation for governing and
managing enterprise level business processes and strategies.
Envision is organized into six processes:
ORACLE UNIFIED METHOD (OUM) - MANAGE
As mention in previous post,
OUM
Second focus area is Manage, which provides a framework for all types
of projects which can be planned, estimated, controlled, and
completed in a consistent manner. Similar to Implement , The Manage focus area (or PJM) has three
phases:
- Project Start Up Phase -The purpose of the Project Startup phase is to provide
strong and clear directions for producing a product or service which
delivers identified benefits or purpose for the client. During the
Project Startup phase, resources are allocated to achieve specific
objectives, satisfy needs, and set expectations through a planned and
organized approach.
- Project Execution and Control Phase - The purpose of the Project Execution and Control Phase is
to provide adequate visibility into actual progress so that
management can take effective actions when the project's performance
deviates significantly from the project plans
- Project Closure Phase - Project Closure Phase is the last phase of the Project
Life Cycle. The commencement of the Project Closure Phase is
determined by the completion of all Project Objectives and acceptance
of the end product by the customer. Closure of any financial
issues,Collection and Completion of All Project Records &
Archiving of All Project Records are typical elements of this phase.
