• Successful software development requires that complex problems be broken down into smaller, more comprehensible and manageable tasks.

• By iteratively applying sound approaches to construct each increment, the project team manages risk while producing a quality deliverable.

• Successful projects require a sound software process model; the process model used in this book is called the Unified Process from Rational Software.

• The project team must effectively market the benefits of an iterative, incremental, risk-based approach to software development.

• The Unified Modeling Language consists of nine different, semantically rich, interlocked diagrams. These diagrams, when used in conjunction with a sound software process, enable ...
