Description
"The Japanese samurai Musashi wrote: 'One can win with the long sword, and one can win with the short sword. Whatever the weapon, there is a time and situation in which it is appropriate.'
"Similarly, we have the long RUP and the short RUP, and all sizes in between. RUP is not a rigid, static recipe, and it evolves with the field and the practitioners, as demonstrated in this new book full of wisdom to illustrate further the liveliness of a process adopted by so many organizations around the world. Bravo!"
--Philippe Kruchten, Professor, University of British Columbia
"The Unified Process and its practices have had, and continue to have, a great impact on the software industry. This book is a refreshing new look at some of the principles underlying the Unified Process. It is full of practical guidance for people who want to start, or increase, their adoption of proven practices. No matter where you are today in terms of software maturity, you can start improving tomorrow."
--Ivar Jacobson, Ivar Jacobson Consulting
"Kroll and MacIsaac have written a must-have book. It is well organized with new principles for software development. I encounter many books I consider valuable; I consider this one indispensable, especially as it includes over 20 concrete best practices. If you are interested in making your software development shop a better one, read this book!"
--Ricardo R. Garcia, President, Global Rational User Group Council, www.rational-ug.org/index.php
"Agile software development is real, it works, and it's here to stay. Now is the time to come up to speed on agile best practices for the Unified Process, and this book provides a great starting point."
--Scott W. Ambler, practice leader, Agile Modeling
"IBM and the global economy have become increasingly dependent on software over the last decade, and our industry has evolved some discriminating best practices. Per and Bruce have captured the principles and practices of success in this concise book; a must for executives, project managers, and practitioners. These ideas are progressive, but they strike the right balance between agility and governance and will form the foundation for successful systems and software developers for a long time."
--Walker Royce, Vice President, IBM Software Services-Rational
"Finally, the RUP is presented in digestible, byte-size pieces. Kroll and MacIsaac effectively describe a set of practices that can be adopted in a low-ceremony, ad hoc fashion, suited to the culture of the more agile project team, while allowing them to understand how to scale their process as needed."
--Dean Leffingwell, author and software business advisor and executive
"This text fills an important gap in the knowledge-base of our industry: providing agile practices in the proven, scalable framework of the Unified Process. With each practice able to be throttled to the unique context of a development organization, Kroll and MacIsaac provide software teams with the ability to balance agility and discipline as appropriate for their specific needs."
--Brian G. Lyons, CTO, Number Six Software, Inc.
In Agility and Discipline Made Easy, Rational Unified Process (RUP) and Open Unified Process (OpenUP) experts Per Kroll and Bruce MacIsaac share twenty well-defined best practices that you and your team can start adopting today to improve the agility, predictability, speed, and cost of software development.
Kroll and MacIsaac outline proven principles for software development, and supply a number of supporting practices for each. You'll learn what problems each practice addresses and how you can best leverage RUP and OpenUP (an open-source version of the Unified Process) to make the practice work for you. You'll find proactive, prescriptive guidance on how to adopt the practices with minimal risk and implement as much or as little of RUP or OpenUP as you want.
Learn how to apply sample practices from the Unified Process so you can
- Execute your project in iterations
- Embrace and manage change
- Test your own code
- Describe requirements from the user perspective
- Architect with components and services
- Model key perspectives
Whether you are interested in agile or disciplined development using RUP, OpenUP, or other agile processes, this book will help you reduce the anxiety and cost associated with software improvement by providing an easy, non-intrusive path toward improved results--without overwhelming you and your team.

描述
日本武士Musashi曾寫道:“可以用長劍贏得勝利,也可以用短劍贏得勝利。無論是什麼武器,在適當的時間和情況下都是適合的。”同樣地,我們有長RUP和短RUP,以及各種大小之間的RUP。RUP不是一個僵化、靜態的配方,它隨著領域和從業人員的發展而演變,正如這本新書所展示的,它充滿智慧,進一步說明了這個被世界各地許多組織所採用的流程的活力。太棒了!
- Philippe Kruchten,不列顛哥倫比亞大學教授
統一過程及其實踐對軟體行業產生了巨大影響,並且仍然持續影響著軟體行業。這本書是對統一過程背後原則的一個清新新視角。它充滿了實用指南,適合那些想要開始或增加對經過驗證的實踐方法採用的人。無論您在軟體成熟度方面目前處於何種狀態,您都可以從明天開始改進。
- Ivar Jacobson,Ivar Jacobson Consulting
Kroll和MacIsaac寫了一本必備的書。它組織有序,提供了軟體開發的新原則。我遇到了許多我認為有價值的書籍,但我認為這本是不可或缺的,特別是因為它包含了超過20個具體的最佳實踐。如果您有興趣使您的軟體開發團隊變得更好,請閱讀這本書!
- Ricardo R. Garcia,全球Rational用戶組織理事會主席
敏捷軟體開發是真實的,它有效,並且它已經到來。現在是時候熟悉統一過程的敏捷最佳實踐了,而這本書提供了一個很好的起點。
- Scott W. Ambler,敏捷建模實踐領導者
在過去的十年中,IBM和全球經濟越來越依賴軟體,我們的行業已經發展出一些區分性的最佳實踐。Per和Bruce在這本簡潔的書中捕捉到了成功的原則和實踐;這對於高管、項目經理和從業人員來說是必不可少的。這些想法是進步的,但它們在敏捷性和治理之間取得了適當的平衡,並將成為成功的系統和軟體開發人員的基礎。
- Walker Royce,IBM軟體服務- Rational副總裁
最後,RUP以易於理解、以位元為單位的方式呈現。Kroll和MacIsaac有效地描述了一套實踐方法,可以以低儀式、即興的方式採用,適合更敏捷的項目團隊文化,同時讓他們了解如何根據需要擴展其過程。
- Dean Leffingwell,作家和軟體業務顧問和執行官
這本書填補了我們行業知識庫中的一個重要空白。
