Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Managing large software projects, unlike civil engineering, remains more art than craft. Customers don't know what they want until they see what they've got. The structure often remains secret from the paying customer, the finished product always comes with faults, accurate costing is impossible and large software projects frequently fail more often than civil engineering projects. It's not surprising, then, that much of The Rational Unified Process: An Introduction is made up of somewhat uninformative statements, like "Workers have activities which define the work they perform", or "A metric is a measurable attribute of an entity". RUP is gaining mind share as a useful tool--and this is a low cost introduction--but don't expect it to turn software development into engineering. --Steve Patient --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Good Introduction to the Rational Unified Process.,
By ian_golton@jba.co.uk (Studley, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rational Unified Process: An Introduction (Paperback)
If you want a manageable introduction to the Rational Unified Process then this is the book for you. There are many large and detailed volumes on the subject but if you are new to the RUP then read this one first and you'll find it easier to get into the rest. There are three reasons for this. Firstly, the book is only about 300 pages long and the information is concise. Secondly, the layout is very good, starting with the process itself then moving to a description of each of the workflows and finishing with chapters on planning and implementation. Thirdly, it is very readable but with sufficient content to make it a valuable reference work while working on an RUP project.

A good introduction to a rather complex set of rules,
By dave@daxsoft.net (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rational Unified Process: An Introduction (Paperback)
For anyone that has heard of the Rational Unified Process and never had the time to spend learning all of it's differing facets. This book is the answer, the text is clear and breaks out some very clear examples of the stages involved and the tools applied to each.So if UML confuses you, if the term RUP crops up in your line of work, this is the book to read. It could have done with covering a couple of items with a little more depth, but a very good starting point for the Rational Unified Process.

5.0 out of 5 stars
good book on OO process,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rational Unified Process: An Introduction (Object Technology Series) (Textbook Binding)
It documents the Object-oriented design process used by the Rational Corporation. In case you are not aware, the authors of UML work for Rational and they are the company that makes Rational Rose, the market leader in OO design tools.The book outlines the process, which has many good features. One example is that the process uses the spiral methodology instead of waterfall. The book covers all phases of processes you might want to put in place in an OO project. Unlike many OO process books for the past, this book keeps it feet on the ground and stays readable. Others in the past have usually drafted into obscure technical details. The book has two problems. The first is that the prose is pretty stilted. Way too many sentences start with "The Rational Unified Process is". The other problem is that the book is geared around using the tools from Rational. However, it is possible to use most of the process without using the tools from Rational. In summary, this book documents a pretty good OO design process in a very easy to understand way. If you are looking for an OO process to follow or are looking for ways to improve your existing one, this book is an excellent starting book.
