Chapter 17. Implementing the Rational Unified Process

This chapter describes the strategies and tactics for deploying the Rational Unified Process in an adopting software development organization.

Introduction

The Rational Unified Process could be used in whole or in part “out of the box,” using it casually, simply as some kind of online Reference Manual of Software Engineering Practices. But we have found that this is not the best way to take advantage of the RUP, and that organizations using this approach tend to “sink” in the RUP, trying to do everything that it describes, using too much of RUP.

The Rational Unified Process must be configured and tailored to the specific context and needs of an organization before its full implementation.
