OAGi Development Methodology Page is on Website


We have recently put up a webpage on the OAGi website that summarizes our OAGi Development Methodology and I am taking this occasion to re-introduce it to our many members and users.

The Open Applications Group has had a development Methodology since I was hired in 1996.  This was one of the first things I built as the new CTO of OAGi.

As we have been using this for the development of our standards for many years, it has been refined and updated many times in the spirit of continuous improvement.

The purpose of the OAGi Development Methodology is to provide a documented step-by-step, repeatable, and open process for building OAGi open standards.

The OAGi standards development methodology includes four major phases each consisting of multiple activities and deliverables. This is an executive summary of those activities and deliverables. 


Please refer to the full documentation on the OAGi website Full Document.

The methodology is based on a commitment to timely delivery, quality and incorporation of all the available best practices and is subject to change and adjustments as newer and more relevant methods and process become available.
The four major phases of the Methodology consist of:
·         Definition – establish and approve a Working Group
·         Construction – creation of the deliverables
·         Review and Approval – internal approvals and incorporation of public input
·         Publication – packaging, deliver general available release and announce
