Reviewer Rating:
In a world of lean, agile, etc., large projects and complex organizations still require rigor that is difficult to accomplish with lightweight methods. Although RUP was never intended to be a heavyweight method, misinformed and undereducated RUP users have often misused and abused RUP, counteracting its primary objectives.

Jochen's diverse background and experience offers grounding for presentation of RUP in a pragmatic manner that offers a lot of information in an efficient format. Anyone who is involved in non-trivial projects will be well-served to understand the key elements of RUP to ensure that those projects sufficiently handle critical tasks to reduce project risk. Instead of drowning in information overload, Jochen's book provides a thorough, comprehensive, and clear explanation of the elements of RUP that are most useful and relevant for project work.

The book sintax is really simple and good to read.
