Assembling Work Packets Within a Software Factory
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for assembling work packets within a software factory, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- collecting a plurality of software artifacts that have been archived during an assembly of previous work packets;
collecting a plurality of metrics that have been utilized during the assembly of previous work packets;
defining a template for a new work packet, wherein the template for the new work packet is created by a packet definition process that defines attributes that are needed in the new work packet;
under a control of the packet definition process, selecting requisite software artifacts from the plurality of software artifacts;
under the control of the packet definition process, selecting requisite metrics from the plurality of metrics; and
sending the template, requisite software artifacts and requisite metrics to a packet assembly process, wherein the packet assembly process assembles, under the control of the template and the requisite metrics, the requisite software artifacts to create the new work packet.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable medium for assembling work packets within a software factory are presented. In a preferred embodiment, the computer-implemented method comprises the steps of: collecting a plurality of software artifacts that have been archived during an assembly of previous work packets; collecting a plurality of metrics that have been utilized during the assembly of previous work packets; defining a template for a new work packet, wherein the template for the new work packet is created by a packet definition process that defines attributes that are needed in the new work packet; selecting requisite software artifacts from the plurality of software artifacts; selecting requisite metrics from the plurality of metrics; and sending the template, requisite software artifacts and requisite metrics to a packet assembly process, wherein the packet assembly process assembles the requisite software artifacts to create the new work packet.
