	Unified Process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Process was designed with the same techniques the team used to design software; it has an underlying object-oriented model, using Unified Modeling Language (UML).
		The Open Unified Process (OpenUP), the lightweight and open source version of RUP, is another attempt to address this limitation.

	Whitepapers - Rational Unified Process Whitepaper: Best Practices for Software Development Teams
		The Rational Unified Process captures many of the best practices in modern software development in a form that is suitable for a wide range of projects and organizations.
		Quality assessment is built into the process, in all activities, involving all participants, using objective measurements and criteria, and not treated as an afterthought or a separate activity performed by a separate group.
		While the process must always accommodate changes, the elaboration phase activities ensure that the architecture, requirements and plans are stable enough, and the risks are sufficiently mitigated, so you can predictably determine the cost and schedule for the completion of the development.

	A Unified Development Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The names of the phases of the Rational process stay away from the terms describing an intellectual activity: analysis, design, test, etc., so that it will be understood that this activity is not confined to that phase, and also to remain independent of terms employed by other authors, standards, and domain-specific jargon.
		Finally, in an iterative process, the activities of planning, test and integration are spread incrementally throughout the cycle, in each iteration, and not massively lumped at the beginning and at the end, respectively.
		The process does not put either a strong focus on documents or `ceremonies', and it lends itself to the automation of many of the tedious tasks associated with software development.

	Amazon.com: The Rational Unified Process: An Introduction (2nd Edition): Books: Philippe Kruchten (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The process is unified as in "Unified Field Theory." Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis, (or Booch, Jacobson, and Rumbaugh, as they are known today) twine in a celestial dance to the Spheres, Rectangles, Clouds, and stray pointers that make up UML and its increasingly ambitious extensions, additions, and heroic leaps of faith.
		The thrust is the process of processes, specifically process in software projects, as viewed by Rational and supported by its project-management toolsets.
		The separation of the process into the different sections allows each of them to be described from their somewhat unique perspectives, which makes it easier to see how the synergy of them all makes for a complete, effective process.

	GameDev.net - Game Unified Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		There was an overriding development process, but its role was more project management, tracking where we were on the project, who was working on what piece, and what had to be delivered when to achieve our objectives.
		Each group had the latitude to define the actual process of getting the work done, on time, with the features that they signed up for and at the quality level that was expected of a production or golden master product.
		We concluded that the establishment of a Game Unified Process that combines the short cycle focus of XP with the longer cycle focus of RUP is the way to go for a multidimensional development group.

	Cooper: The Rational Unified Process and Goal-Directed Design
		This process is predicated on the assumption that it is impossible to make sense of requirements until you’ve written some code and put it in front of users and customers, because there’s really no anticipating or accounting for what people will actually want.
		This phase of the process is primarily the responsibility of business decision-makers and can be thought of as the development of a hypothesis regarding a specific opportunity in the marketplace.
		The Rational Unified Process® and Goal-Directed Design are both time- and battle-tested tools designed to ensure success and predictability in large and complex development efforts.

	The Agile Unified Process (AUP) Home Page
		Model is an important part of the AUP, as you can see, but it doesn't dominate the process -- you want to stay agile by creating models and documents which are just barely good enough.
		The goal of this discipline is to support the rest of the effort by ensuring that the proper process, guidance (standards and guidelines), and tools (hardware, software, etc.) are available for the team as needed.
		If you want something in between XP and traditional RUP, a process that is agile yet explicitly includes activities and artifacts which you're accustomed to, then the AUP is likely for you.

	Agile Modeling and the Rational Unified Process (RUP)
		A business process model (often a data flow diagram or activity diagram) depicting a high-level overview of the business process to be supported by your system.
		An enterprise architecture model is a representation of the structures and processes of an organization; a good one depicts the organization both as it is today and as it is envisioned in the future, and maps the various views representing the architecture to one another.
		They also wanted to ensure that their modeling processes were effective, they weren’t convinced that the UML was sufficient for their needs (it wasn’t) and they wanted to ensure that legacy integration modeling was reflected in their tailoring of the RUP.

		The process framework is a well-defined, documented set of definitions, principles, and practices you can employ it either out-of-the-box or customized to suit your needs.
		The RUP process is configurable and focuses on providing a disciplined approach to managing tasks and responsibilities.
		The process is described through a set of four phases and a set of accompanying workflows that support these phases; eventually, you'll produce the artifacts needed at the completion of each phase of the development lifecycle using this process.

	Unified Process Explained, The - $24.49 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Unified Process Explained is a concise, accessible, and practical guide that's meant to help significantly shorten the learning curve for practitioners unfamiliar with this methodology.
		So, I set about writing this book partially to debunk the notion that the process contained just too much for the average person to get his or her arms around, and also to establish that the process doesn't specify tasks that people on a project don't do anyway, in one way or another.
		This chapter provides an overview of the Unified Process, in the form of a "nutshell" description, some history, exploration of the major themes (use case driven, architecture-centric, and iterative and incremental), and definitions of the major terminology: workflows, phases, iterations and increments, and artifacts, workers, and activities.

	ERCB: The Rational Unified Process
		Believing, as nerds tend to do, that the methods used to describe program objects and execution steps are suitable for managing human social units, Rational's scientists, to their credit, have elevated napkin scratching and whiteboard scrawls to an art form, and given our industry a certain shared vocabulary of icons for these familiar entities.
		Assuming I'm correct in my assessment, we can probably expect the Rational Unified Process to be mandated by law in the near future.
		With that in mind, The Rational Unified Process: An Introduction is a mercifully short introduction.

		The authors mainly focus on adoption and explain the process in a very systematic way, while also raising important issues concerning approach, urgency, and the scope of the project.
		The statistical data used is an eye-opener: "It takes two to three years to fully implement RUP in an organization with 100 to 200 developers." Tips and tricks are suggested throughout the book, which are very useful and practical.
		The topics on project assessment, documenting the process, motivating people, making the RUP adoption plan, obtaining support within the organization, and successful RUP mentoring are very well presented and nicely organized.
