The UP organizes artifacts in terms of disciplines. The Use-Case Model and Supplementary Specifications are in the Requirements discipline. The Software Development Plan is part of the Project Management discipline, and so forth. Therefore, organize folders in your version control and directory system to reflect the disciplines, and place the artifacts of a discipline within the related discipline folder (see Figure 40.5).
This organization works for most non-implementation elements. Some implementation artifacts, such as the actual database or executable files, are commonly found in different locations for a variety of implementation reasons.

Guideline After each iteration, use the version control tool to create a labeled and frozen checkpoint of all the elements in these folders (including source code). There will be an "iteration-1," "iteration-2," and so on, version of each artifact. For later estimation of team velocity (on this or other projects), these checkpoints provide raw data of how much work got done per iteration. |
