Plan which components should be implemented, and the order in which the components should be integrated in the current iteration.
How to Staff
Integration is typically carried out by a single person (for a small project
on which the build process in simple) or a small team (for a large project on
which the build process is complex). The integrators need experience in software
build management, configuration management, and experience in the programming
language in which the components to be integrated are written. Because
integration often involves a high degree of automation, expertise in operating
system shell or scripting languages and tools like 'make' (on Unix) is also
essential.
Work Guidelines
Planning the integration process should be done early, at least in rough
form, when the architecture is baselined. As the architecture and design evolve,
the integration plan should be examined and updated to ensure that the build
plan does not become obsolete by changes in the architecture or the design.
