Adopting the Rational Unified Process: Success with the RUP (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)

by StefanBergstrom (Author), Lotta Raberg (Author)

Synopsis

This book describes precisely what needs to be accomplished in order to successfully implement the Rational Unified Process as a new process within an organization. All aspects of the process implementation are covered. The reader will find a management-perspective description of the RUP, and details on the effects that the RUP has on projects. In exploring an actual implementation, the authors present a definition of goals and metrics, advice on selecting strategies, and steps toward the development of an implementation plan. A discussion of implementation best practices and proven strategies is included. The book ends with descriptions from actual implementations, and a comparison of the content of the book with what can be found regarding this subject in the RUP itself. All of the above is based on the authors experience helping companies implement the RUP. Volvo was the authors' most recent engagement, and they use this project as their example throughout the book.
