| The IBM Rational Unified Process®, or RUP®, provides proven best practices for software and systems delivery, implementation and effective project management. |
Hang the RUP poster on your office wall and have a handy process reference for software and systems development in the four iterative phases.
Learn about how you can achieve consistency between business process models and operational guides.
| Model-driven systems development leverages the power of modeling to address a set of problems that have plagued systems development, including: |
- Overwhelming complexity: Managing complexity by managing levels of abstraction and levels of detail
- Not considering appropriate viewpoints: Multiple views to address multiple concerns
- System does not meet functional, performance and other system concerns: Integration of form and function
- Lack of scalability: Isomorphic composite recursive structures and method to address scalability.
The RUP for Model-Driven Systems Development (MDSD) poster provides a handy reference and overview of the systems development lifecycle.
Learn more about the RUP for Model-Driven Systems Development Plug-in.
| Larger teams that seek to adopt Agile practices will face unique challenges. Without any structure or forethought, Agile teams can crash and burn. To achieve agility “at scale” teams must be careful to manage increasing application complexity, address gaps in communication to encourage collaboration and automate functional silos to enable an iterative development process. |
Get an overview of how larger teams can succeed with agility at scale. This poster provides an overview of the Agile software development lifecycle, Agile practices, factors for scaling up Agile, governing Agile projects, and measuring Agile practice adoption. Hang it on your office wall and have a handy reference for Agile software and systems development for small teams as well as large.
Learn more on how to succeed with agility at scale.
