The Unified Process has become a de-facto standard for guiding software development teams in through the software development process. It provides a disciplined approach to assigning tasks and responsibilities within a development organization. Its goal is to ensure the production of high-quality software that meets the needs of its end-users, within a predictable schedule and budget.
This course will explain the key concepts and best practices on which the Unified Process (UP) is based. It will provide an explanation of the phases and milestones associated with the process. It investigates the navigation, structure and main elements of UP, as well as how UP is applied to iterative software development.
