The Rational Unified Process: An Introduction (3rd Edition)

SUMMARY

• The project management workflow of the Rational Unified Process is useful for balancing competing objectives, managing risk, and overcoming constraints to deliver a product that meets the needs of the customers (the ones who pay the bills) and the end users.

• In an iterative process, the development should be based on a phase plan and a series of iteration plans.

• Risk is a driver for planning.

• Measurement is a key technique used to control projects.

• In building a phase plan, you must assess trade-offs between staff, schedule, and project scope.

• The criteria to define the scope of an iteration vary from phase to phase.
