Using the IBM Rational Unified Process for Small Projects:

Basic Unified Process: A Process for Small and Agile Projects

Basic Unified Process (BUP) is a streamlined version of IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) optimized for small projects. Small projects constitute teams of 3 to 6 people and involve 3 to 6 months of development effort. BUP preserves the essential characteristics of RUP, which includes iterative development, use-cases and scenarios driving development, risk management, and architecture-centric a...

Hybrid Software Development Approach for Small to Medium Scale Projects: Rup, Xp & Scrum

Software industry is using various customized models such as Rational Unified Process (RUP), eXtreme Programming (XP) and SCRUM. XP and Scrum are most widely practiced and documented agile models. Both XP and Scrum work well for small projects whereas RUP is suitable for large projects. A fine integration of these models is required to deal with small, medium and large projects. This paper is w...

Rational Unified Process for Systems

Editor's Note: The IBM Rational Unified Process,® or RUP,® offers software development organizations a framework for streamlining all activities related to the development lifecycle. Since its formal debut in 1996, RUP has evolved to support a variety of development requirements, including "systems engineering," or SE. In 2001, the first RUP Plug-In to support systems engineering was proposed b...

A technical discussion of RUP A Comparison of the IBM Rational Unified Process

Extending the Rational Unified Process with a User Experience Discipline: a Case Study

The Rational Unified process is widely used as a process framework for software development. The introduction and use of the RUP is not straight forward. Experience and research have shown that some sort of tailoring of RUP to the software development organization and the software development projects is necessary to be able to use the framework in a productive way in the projects. In this pape...
