Add methodologies to solutions

  • Artykuł

This article explains how to create and modify methodologies in Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS). It also provides information about the requirements for methodologies.

Methodology requirements

The first two phases of your methodology are the Learn and Consume phases from the LCS Solutions Consumption methodology.

During the Learn phase, your product description must be aligned with your business process library, the descriptions or summaries in your marketing material, and the functionality that is supported in the current version of your solution. The Learn phase includes the following tasks:

  • Product description – Take advantage of your marketing description by adding it to the LCS methodology.
  • Get an overview – Include content for your solution, such as information about the features and architecture.
  • How to get help – Include numbers, contacts, or direct links to your company's website, for people who help build and maintain the solution.

The Consume phase is optional. It includes tasks that are required in order to complete Conference room pilot 1 (CRP1).

After the Learn and Consume phases, you can add any other steps that are required in order to implement your solution. You can either modify the phases and tasks so that they are aligned with your solution, or use your company's implementation methodology.
