Features: In Agile and Lightweight at Ease, experts on Rational Unified Process (RUP) and OpenUP, Per Kroll and Bruce Maclsaac, jointly use 20 clearly defined best practices that you and your team can now adopt to improve the agility, predictability, speed, and cost of software development. Kroll and Maclsaac outline recognized software development principles and provide extensive supporting practices for each principle. You will learn the problems each practice aims to solve and how to fully leverage RUP and OpenUP (an open-source version of RUP) to utilize these practices effectively for your needs. You will find forward-looking, instructional guidance on how to adopt practices with lower risks and implement a large or small amount of RUP or OpenUP according to your requirements. Learn how to apply template practices from the unified process, so you can:
- Execute your project in iterations
- Embrace and manage changes
- Test your code
- Describe requirements from a user's perspective
- Use components and services for architecture
- Model key points
Whether you are interested in agile or standardized development using RUP, OpenUP, or other agile processes, this book will provide you with a simple, free, and straightforward path to improved results, helping you reduce anxiety and costs associated with software improvement without putting pressure on you and your team.
