This course provides a substantive introduction to the Rational Unified Process (RUP®),a software development process that is rapidly emerging as the standard for enterprise-scale application development projects. Through classroom instruction and discussion, this course will address the key phases of the Rational Unified Process which are: Inception, Elaboration, Construction and Transition. Within these phases the role of iteration in managing changing requirements, resources and risks will be carefully examined. The role of best practices will be illustrated through a comprehensive examination of use-case driven development and architectural modeling, combined with an in-depth study of each key RUP engineering and support discipline from requirements and implementation, through to project and change management. This course is a lecture only course.
