About Structuring Development Work


There are two common approaches to structuring the development work required to configure Siebel applications:

  • Assign a single developer or group the development role for a complete functional area.
    • For example, one group or an individual person may develop a Web page and all the supporting logical business object definitions and data object definitions.
    • This approach typically enables different groups to implement in parallel.
  • Assign a single developer or group to a specific architectural layer.
    • This approach takes advantage of the specialized expertise of developers—for example:
      • The RDBMS specialists can implement extensions in the Data Objects Layer.
      • The system architects can implement the Business Object Layer.
      • The UI developers can implement the User Interface Objects Layer.
    • Using a Web template requires each group to complete some work before another group begins.
