The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is an iterative software development methodology that defines roles, artifacts and phases to govern complex projects.
RUP is a process-driven, iterative approach to software development with defined roles, milestones and artifacts. It supports risk management and change control and suits structured, large-scale development projects. The method promotes repeatable workflows and documented decisions.
Measures average iteration duration and helps assess predictability.
Indicates effectiveness of risk identification and prioritization.
Measures quality of delivered increments and QA effectiveness.
A provider used RUP to manage modular releases and coordinate many subteams.
RUP helped to identify development risks early and deliver architecture-driven increments.
A team introduced RUP iterations to move from large monolith releases to more frequent increments.
Analyze current processes and identify stakeholders
Tailor the RUP framework to project size and risk
Run pilot iteration, measure and adapt processes
