  1. Rational Unified Process Fundamentals Module 5: Implementing Rational Unified Process

  2. Objectives: Implementing Rational Unified Process • Show how you can configure the Rational Unified Process • Understand the purpose of the Environment Workflow • The role of the Process Engineer • Understand the purpose of the Development Case • Explain strategies for implementing a process

  3. A Tailorable Process • Can be used in whole or part • Can be tailored to fit in an existing process • Can be used out-of-the-box by some organizations • A Development Case captures how the project should work • Develop an organization-wide reusable process framework

  4. Implementing Process - The Steps Assess the Development Organization Plan the Implementation- Plan at the Organization Level- Plan at the Project Level Execute Process Implementation- Configure the Process- Develop Guidelines- Make Tools Work- Train People Evaluate Process Implementation New Process CompletelyImplemented

  5. Many New Factors Software-Development Organization New Process New Tools New Technology

  6. The Rational Unified Process

  7. Environment Workflow • Purpose: Support the development organization, both with process and tools • Configuring the process • Implementing a process • Developing guidelines • Selecting and acquiring tools • Toolsmithing • Supporting the development • Training

  8. The On-Line Process Provides Guidance • The Environment core workflow addresses process configuration activities: • Assess the current organization • Develop a development case • Guidelines: Environment provide detailed guidance in • How to prepare the development case • Tailoring decisions to be made for each workflow • How to represent the development case on-line • Includes a sample development case

  9. Environment: Activity Overview

  10. Environment: Artifact Overview

  11. Adopting a Process • In configuring the process, the process framework is adapted to the needs and constraints of the adopting organization • The result is documented in a “Development Case” • In implementing the process, the organization’s practice is changed to effectively use the process

  12. Factors that Drive Process Configuration • The business context • contract work versus commercial development • The size of the software development effort • The degree of novelty • Has the development organization ever built a similar system? • The type of application • embedded real time verses individual IT application • The current development process • Organizational factors, e.g. skills, attitudes

  13. Classification of Projects

  14. Development Case The Development Case • Written by a Process Engineer • Describes the project’s process: • Phases and milestones • Which artifacts to use • How to use artifacts • Which activities to perform • Additional activities • How to work in each core workflow • Iteration workflow descriptions

  15. Project and Organization Project Specific- Guidelines- Templates Project-Specific Process Development Case Organization Wide Process Organization “Shell” Reusable- Guidelines- Templates- Examples Other Process Material Rational Unified Process

  16. Process Engineers and Toolsmiths

  17. Implementation Approaches: Typical

  18. Implementation Approaches: Fast

  19. Implementation Approaches: Careful

  20. A Development Environment for the Organization

  21. Best Practices for Process Implementation • Assess the development organization • Employ progressive process improvement • Do not scale up too early • Get buy-in from stakeholders • Anticipate resistance--devise a strategy • Involve process engineers in development • “A process description is not a process” • Transfer knowledge • Set expectations • Do not hype the process

  22. Summary: Implementing Rational Unified Process • What does it mean to configure the Rational Unified Process? • What is the purpose of the Environment Workflow? • Describe the role of the Process Engineer. • What is a Development Case and what is its purpose? • What does it mean to Implement the Rational Unified Process?
