Part 1: RUP Basics
One thing that often confuses people is that RUP is both a process and a product. I’d like to start by clarifying the difference between them.
When people first start looking at the products and services of IBM’s Rational brand, it seems overwhelming. But the RUP is the thing that ties it all together. All of the products, consulting services, instructor led and web based training that they offer are there to support the RUP’s six best practices. So basically if you understand the six best practices, you understand if Rational has a solution that could help you.
The six best practices are:
* Develop Iteratively
* Manage Requirements
* Use Component Architectures
* Model Visually
* Continuously Verify Quality
* Manage Change
So every product, service and training class in the Rational brand are there to help you succeed in these six areas, and the RUP process describes the approach to take to achieve this improvement.
The RUP product, on the other hand, helps to deliver the RUP process into the hands of the team. Basically the tool consists of four major parts.
* Process Delivery Tools
- Workflow
- Roles and Responsibilities
- Templates
- Examples
- Tool Mentors
- Guidelines
- Checklists
- Etc.
* Process Configuration Tools
* Process Authoring Tools
* Community Tools
The “Delivery Tools” get the RUP process into your hands by defining the workflow for nine different disciplines, such as requirements management, the roles and their responsibilities, templates for their artifacts, etc.
The “Configuration Tools” let you customize your version of RUP with your own process assets or with various RUP “plug ins” that center around other process or technologies, for example there are plug-ins for “XP,” “User Experience Development,” “COTS selection,” “J2EE development,” etc.
“Authoring Tools” allow you to create your own processes in the same style as the RUP and to create plug-ins like those listed above.
“Community Tools” are about the forums that exist (and even this blog!) to help you adopt the RUP successfully.
In this blog, I assume that you have access to the RUP tool. Even if you don’t I think you will derive huge value from the posts I put here, but to really maximize your chances of success, having a license of RUP will greatly help. And happily, it is the least expensive Rational tool by orders of magnitude.

BREAKING NEWS!!
InterFinancial Holdings, Corp. (OTC Pink Sheets: IFLH - News) announced that they have added
David Cain to their board of directors. David Cain is currently the Chairman of the advisory
board to TTI (Texas Transportation Institute). Senator Cain represented Senate District 2 for
eight years in the Texas Senate and Chaired the Senate State Affairs Subcommittee on
Transportation and served nine terms in the Texas House of Representatives for District 107.
During his twelve years as Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Senator Cain�s
efforts on behalf of the people of Texas have been widely recognized. He was named to Texas
Monthly Magazine�s list of Ten Best Legislators, the Dallas Morning News said he was one of
the outstanding legislators of the 73rd session, and the Texas Department of Transportation
awarded him the Russell H. Perry Award in 1995 for his efforts to gain public awareness of
the need for and benefits of transportation facilities in the State of Texas.
Jeffrey C. Bruteyn, Managing Director, stated, We at InterFinancial are proud to have such a
widely recognized Senator join our board and oversee out automotive lending division. His
affiliations and connections to the automotive industry will be invaluable to our company.
Senator Cain will be instrumental in expediting our approval to use a government issued Seller
Finance License.
Seller Finance Licenses are very difficult to obtain and are usually reserved for the Big Boys
with heavy lobbyists. These licenses are highly coveted because it allows the finance company
to collect the entire down payment, instead of paying a portion of it to the taxing authority.
This dramatically helps a finance company�s bottom line if the buyer defaults on the loan.
With the new GPS tracking systems being installed on every car to dramatically improve
repossessions and with Senator Cain on the Board of Directors, InterFinancial Holdings
is ready to take their business to the next level.
Conclusion:
The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little known Companies
