SUMMARY

SUMMARY

• An organization can take various approaches to adopt the Rational Unified Process.

• The typical approach involves trying part of the Rational Unified Process in a Pilot Project before extending it to the entire organization.

• Adopting the Rational Unified Process usually involves developing a Development Case, which is a project-specific version of the process.

• The Development Case is likely to be a Web site. It can be a modification of the Rational Unified Process online or a Web site that refers to the Rational Unified Process online by way of hyperlinks .

• Tools to support the process must be put in place simultaneously with the process.

• Professional education and tool training are integral parts of a carefully planned process change.
