Agenda & Objective

� Rational Unified Process (RUP)�a proven software development method that has been around for 20+ years

� a ”RUP” case study

� Rational Method Composer (RMC)� the new generation Method Authoring tool

� an ”RMC” case study

� Objective� to provide understanding of how RUP and RMC

can increase the software delivery capability

Benefits of using Rational Unified Process (RUP)

� Well-known, widely adopted standard -> Easier to work with other organisations�across companies, across countries, across geographies

� Easier to find resources with skills and experience�widely spread, taught at universities

� Saves time, no need to invent the process in each project�examples� templates�guidelines�etc.

� Well-proven, practical and modern

� Inexpensive product

� Easy to add tools for automation – next slide

Business IT-Department(Developers)

Small IT-department (~40, 10 programmers). (Government org. within US. Department of Energy)

1 location

Problem : • End users (Business) needs not met. • The business was growing and the manual routines were to laborsome. • IT-Department worked hard too, but their solutions were not sufficient.

Their SW Development needed improvement.

What is Rational Method Composer (RMC)?A Method Authoring tool to:

Deliver and manage customized and consistent processes and practices to enable collaboration between business and IT teams

Including and extending the IBM Rational UnifiedProcess®—or IBM RUP®—methodology, the IBMRational® Method Composer software represents a major evolution of IBM’s process solutions. The RUP solution is a software process framework that has guided some 500,000 developers around the world in a broad range of software and systems development projects. Built on top of the Eclipseframework, the Rational Method Composer software adds new best practices to the RUP methodology that leverage IBM’s expertise in portfolio management, collaborativedistributed development and service-oriented architectures (SOAs).

Leader in it’s spaceNote : Does not have to be RUP. It’s just part of it, for free.

What development teams are facing today

� No common language or terminology between processes - redundancy and inconsistencies

� Knowledge cannot easily be customized for different projects or new best practices

� No central community or communication framework to facilitate convergence of best practices across domains

Summary� RUP is a proven software development method that has been around for 2

decades and improved delivery capability in many projects (~500 000 users)

� RUP can be tailored to fit any project

� RMC is the new generation method authoring tool used to tailor RUP to your specific needs

� RUP and additonal methods comes with RMC
