Oracle Java and PRINCE2

Looking already at SOA and ITIL, I started reading up on other project lifecycle standards popular in the United Kingdom. PRINCE2 (PRojects In Controlled Environments) methodology naturally was the one that caught my attention. I'm not going to define the standard here (but you can read about it here: PRINCE2). Perusing a copy of the PRINCE2 process model I downloaded from the site, it struck me as rather like an old Sun Java technology concept map poster. Interest peaked. I thought, "Why not create a similar map that explains process (PRINCE2, ITIL) by placing it in the context of related concepts and examples, and by defining its major components and the connections between them? (OK, I took that phrasing from the February 14, 2003 version of the Java Technology Concept Map - but you get the point.) Before you get excited that a link to this diagram will appear, or see several nice diagram snippets embedded in this post, you'll have to wait. I'm attached to the idea, but I haven't figured out the process model I want to utilize yet, or the specific Java technology concept I want to wrap it around. And I'm still researching and discovering many interesting things about how folks who use PRINCE2 in Java environments approach development. For instance, since many Java shops are using the more reaction-driven Agile Scrum, to make up for the process areas Scrum doesn't cover (read: formal process)...
