| As much as each of us would like to get up every day with only a few things to focus on, the competitive world we live in rarely allows such a luxury. Balancing complexity with simplicity is an art, and it is one that we must master. In today's competitive information technology world, the pressure is on to stay in front of your competition. The value and visibility of your development projects compel you to reduce time-to-market without sacrificing quality and with lower cost. There are so many high level representing technologies for information system and software engineering. With so many representing technologies, how do we choose the one that will help us get ahead of the curve? An advanced, powerful, easy to learn and lower cost technology named Context Map is introduced as a common modeling language. The purpose of this project is to illustrate that Context Map is not only a methodology and formalized notation for representing the knowledge, but also it's a powerful tool itself which can be used directly to manipulate the formatted knowledge. The functionality and attributes of Context Maps are demonstrated by modeling of Unified Process Concepts, Rational Unified Process framework and Rational ClearQuest tool set. |
