Opportunity и Capability в ArchiEssence
Одно и то же русское слово "возможность" используется и для opportunity, и для capability.
В OMG Essence (системная схема проекта) слово opportunity, "возможность". Я когда-то перевёл даже множественным числом: "ищут разные возможности", а не "ищут конкретную возможность". Вот цитата из стандарта 1.1 (http://www.omg.org/spec/Essence/), и помним, что в стандарте намеренно приведены мутные формулировки, дабы поощрить их обсуждение командой проекта:
Opportunity: The set of circumstances that makes it appropriate to develop or change a software system. The opportunity articulates the reason for the creation of the new, or changed, software system. It represents the team’s
shared understanding of the stakeholders’ needs, and helps shape the requirements for the new software system by
providing justification for its development.
States
- Identified (определена) -- A commercial, social, or business opportunity has been identified that could be addressed by a software-based solution.
- Solution Needed (нужно решение) -- The need for a software-based solution has been confirmed.
- Value Established (польза установлена) -- The value of a successful solution has been established.
- Viable (жизнеспособна) -- It is agreed that a solution can be produced quickly and cheaply enough to successfully address the opportunity.
- Addressed (использована) -- A solution has been produced that demonstrably addresses the opportunity.
- Benefit Accrued (извлекается выгода) -- The operational use or sale of the solution is creating tangible benefits.
