Essentials of RUP
This week I took a two-day class in "Essentials of RUP" at the LogicaCMG academy. The course was given by Peter van de Heijde from IBM Peter gave a theoretical introduction and showed us the RUP-database. LogicaCMG collegeas can download this tool from the intranet.
I was surpised that very few attendees worked in their every day practice with some kind of development methodology (most only knew something about DSDM or process management ideas from Prince2) The projects in our Microsoft competence might be relatively small, but even this kind of projects can profit from the best-practices tought by RUP. You can for example use the templates, guidelines and checklists. The course definitely made us more aware of this.
