	Rational Software: Building E-businesses with the Rational Unified Process
		Ask any software engineer, and he or she will tell you that building a successful software solution — that is, one that's on time, on budget, high quality, and meets all the business requirements set out for it — is a very difficult task.

		A software architect would use a visual model to communicate changes in the architecture of a system to a development team, and a CEO can use a similar model to communicate changes in strategy to an executive team.
