Defining a custom process

Configuring the Rational Unified Process® (RUP®) methodology is a matter of sizing the process to match the needs of a specific organization or individual project. It involves selecting the right set of process components and providing appropriate views into this configuration to hide parts of the process that are irrelevant for certain user-groups.

To define a customized process view for your organization, analyze a role or category in the process and consider making the following changes:
  1. Add, expand, modify, or remove steps in activities.
  2. Add checkpoints to the review activities based on experience.
  3. Add guidelines, based on discoveries made in past projects.
  4. Add tool mentors as needed.
Now, you can implement the changes to your RUP Configuration by creating a new process view and inserting custom content.
