Abstract ======== The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a comprehensive process covering almost all aspects of software development projects. Due to its great level of detail, RUP has - quite wrongly - the reputation of being too heavyweight for agile development projects. This talk will show how to configure RUP for agile development. Topics covered include what artifacts to use and not to use, best practices for planning and monitoring projects, best practices for handling requirements, and best practices for analysis and design. The talk will be concluded by a brief demonstration of a real world project which was successfully completed with an agile version of RUP. Bio === Michael Hirsch has 20 years of experience in the software industry in various roles, including project manager, software architect and software developer. The last 10 years he has been with Zühlke Engineering AG, a software contractor and software consultancy in Switzerland. He has been using RUP since 1998, when he led a team that introduced RUP at Zühlke Engineering and adapted it to the company's needs. Since then Zühlke Engineering has successfully completed more than 20 projects with an agile version of RUP. Today, Michael splits his time between managing software development projects, coaching and mentoring project teams, and teaching classes on software processes and object oriented analysis and design. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!
