Patent ID: 8782598

Claim:
A processor-implemented method of supporting a user who is servicing a work packet request within a software factory, the processor-implemented method comprising: establishing a needed tooling environment that is necessary to service a work packet request in a software factory, wherein the software factory comprises: an assembly line and job shop that receive and execute work packets to create a deliverable software, wherein the work packets include governance procedures, standards, reused assets, work packet instructions, integration strategy, schedules, exit criteria and artifact checklist templates for Input/Output routines, and a published set of services that are published to a design center, and wherein the published set of services describes what assembly services for assembling the work packets are offered by the assembly line and job shop; creating, by a processor, a full work packet-aware Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is specific for a work packet that is identified by the work packet request, wherein the full work packet-aware IDE provides specifically tailored access to all resources that are needed to service the work packet request; transmitting the full work packet-aware IDE and an associated Graphical User Interface (GUI) to a user who has been assigned to service the work packet request; and interactively supplying the user with resources depicted in the GUI.
