The following RUP disciplines provide content that begins to address the integration between RUP
and ITUP.
Not all the relationships between RUP and ITUP, as depicted in Figure1, are covered as touch point in this plug-in
but may be covered in future releases.
Additionally, the following link provides access to method elements that describe the integration of RUP and ITUP
from a different but complimentary perspective: Overview of the Relationship Between RUP and ITUP.
Requirements
-

unifying the RUP Change and Configuration Management discipline with the ITUP Change Management process offering a
heightened awareness of how software development processes affect and are affected by IT operations. The goal of
this touch point is to take into account and prioritize any modification to or addition
of a Configuration Item
(CI) as requirements progress through application design and development.
Project Management
-
The RUP to ITUP Problem Management Touch Point provides an inside look at
unifying the RUP Project Management discipline with the ITUP Problem Management process offering a heightened
