| Overview"Per Kroll and Philippe Kruchten are especially
well suited to explain the RUP...because they have been the central
forces inside Rational Software behind the creation of the RUP and
its delivery to projects around the world."
--From the Foreword by Grady Booch
This book is a comprehensive guide to modern
software development practices, as embodied in the Rational Unified
Process, or RUP. With the help of this book's practical advice and
insight, software practitioners will learn how to tackle
challenging development projects--small and large--using an
iterative and risk-driven development approach with a proven track
record.
The Rational Unified Process Made
Easy will teach you the key points involved in planning and
managing iterative projects, the fundamentals of component design
and software architecture, and the proper employment of use cases.
All team members--from project managers to analysts, from
developers to testers--will learn how to immediately apply the RUP
to their work. You will learn that the RUP is a flexible, versatile
process framework that can be tailored to suit the needs of
development projects of all types and sizes.
Key topics covered include:
How to use the RUP to develop iteratively, adopt an
architecture-centric approach, mitigate risk, and verify software
quality Tasks associated with the four phases of the RUP: Inception,
Elaboration, Construction, and Transition Roles and responsibilities of project managers, architects,
analysts, developers, testers, and process engineers in a RUP
project Incrementally adopting the RUP with minimal risk Common patterns for failure with the RUP--and how to avoid
them
Use this book to get quickly up to speed with the
RUP, so you can easily employ the significant power of this process
to increase the productivity of your team.

Editorial ReviewsProduct DescriptionThe Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a software engineering process developed and marketed by Rational Software Corporation. The RUP comprises a host of software development best practices collected from a number of contributors, over many yeras, and across a wide variety of situations. The RUP is popular because it provides a disciplined approach to assigning and managing tasks and responsibiltites to ensure success in a software project. In this new book, the industry's leading RUP experts borrow from their significant experience and insider knowledge to teach you how to apply the RUP and succeed with it. The reader will discover what works, and what doesn't, as well as specific advice on how and when to apply the RUP.

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 15 reviews. I read it couple times, 2009-03-08 Reviewer rating: I read this book couple times and both found something interesting. May be it's the best one as for RUP. Even if you do not practice RUP, preferring other methodologies instead, reading this book wouldn't hurt. | Some value, but not a lot more than the introductory book, 2007-08-26 Reviewer rating: I read 'Rational Unified Process - An Introduction' some years ago and found it excellent. I got 'Rational Unified Process Made Easy' in the hope that it would provide some more substance to the ideas from the introductory book. However it didn't seem to really add that much value.
The sections covering each of the major disciplines are useful, as is the guidance on implementing RUP in projects or organisations. In contrast 'Rational Unified Process Made Easy' misses a good summary of the key artefacts.
All up I felt the book was hampered by the desire not to undermine the RUP product that IBM sells. | I write much better software now, 2007-04-18 Reviewer rating: I'm a solo developer, and without this book i would be refactoring my code every few days still.
Thank you RUP for putting my head on straight to understand iterations of the SDLC and apply them to even small projects with few assets.
RUP gives you the tools to understand your system before you write it by iteratively working with the people who will be using the system! Your customers/Users! | A Practical guide to RUP, 2006-11-13 Reviewer rating: Excellent guide to get up to speed with RUP. Having never worked with RUP this guide proved extremely beneficial to get the project started and will be used through all iterations. | The Pragmatic RUP Introduction , 2006-08-07 Reviewer rating: There is plenty of theory written about RUP, but how it should be applied to your role or your project is often misunderstood.
This book not only provides the overview, but the contextual guidance to make RUP work for you.
As a long-term RUP mentor and user, I highly recommend it. |
