Agile Uml

A brief overview of the ORs

RUP is the abbreviation for "Rational Unified Process - a systems development methodology developed by the Rational Unified Corporation and now owned by IBM. The author has no connection with any of these organizations, but used part of the process of major development projects.

The process was developed following the work of Booch, Rumbaugh and Jacobson (affectionately known as The Three Amigos), which were largely the designers of UML (Universal Modeling Language). The concept of RUP is based on an analysis of what really happens in development projects and why many projects fail (usually the failure rate is 30%).

It is part of the Spectrum Agile Project Management at the upper end, after XP, Scrum and DSDM on a scale of complexity and size of the team.

In designing the project process in a manner which ensures that the most risky items are processed according to the highest risk first, then the overall risk of the project (as seen at the origin) is not limited to the first First, although the risk of a major project grows and the spectacular collapse at a late stage is aggressively addressed. This means that the risk of failure must clearly diminish as the project progresses - is quite different from what happens in many "traditional" projects. Of course, it does not protect against the risk of a business paradigm shift that has not been scheduled.

In summary, identifies nine RUP disciplines of project:

six disciplines of engineering ": modeling, requirements (capture, management), Analysis and Design, Implementation, Testing, Deployment

and three "supporting disciplines: Configuration and change management, project management, environmental management.

They are supported by sets of software tools (eg UML modeling tools, test automation and test management tools and so on). iterative work is an essential component of the process structure, with objects (Prince in terms they would be called products) to be continuously improved and a new test (remember that even a test plan must be checked against set its standards as it is itself a project artifact).

A project is defined in terms of four phases:

1. Creation - is the high level design of the project itself, including governance, business case, budgets, risks, plans and, often, the evaluation of a prototype architecture. The bridge output is called the cycle of life Objective Progress - which is what the project seeks to achieve over the full life cycle (including the realization of benefits).

Degree requirements for the design changes / expected - high probability of needs / design change planned - high

2. Preparation - This phase involves extension teams, product design and buildout prototype process improvement project (eg testing) infrastructure, and so on, with a bridge known officially released as the life cycle Milestone Architecture, the passage which confirms that the executable architecture has been demonstrated that "true," - which provides physically - the case of risky use architecture and how risks shareholders are mitigated. It also requires that 80% of use cases have been identified and designed, primarily based on risk and rework of the case and the risks. There are other important "tangible" necessary at this time also, including the model of software architecture and development plan. At this stage, the project will enter a phase where the risk profile is high (relatively) that the changes will be harder to take.

Degree requirements / design change expected - Moderate potential needs / design change expected - Moderate

3. Construction - in traditional terms, this is where the bulk of the system is built. The bridge output is known as the Initial Operational Capability Milestone. In other words, th.
