Process Workshop solutions utilise the IBM Rational's Unified Process® (RUP®). RUP is a flexible process framework that enables you to configure your process. You select and deploy only those components that are needed for each phase of your project. RUP builds upon industry-standard best practices of iterative development, visual modeling and component-based architectures.
One of the central best practices of RUP is the notion of Developing Iteratively. RUP organises projects in terms of disciplines and phases, each consisting of one or more iterations. With the iterative approach, the emphasis of each workflow will vary throughout the life-cycle The iterative approach helps you address risk early and continuously, through demonstrable progress and frequent executable releases.
RUP is accessed using any common Web browser, so each team member has instant access to RUP's knowledge base and process guidelines from their desktop. RUP also provides tool mentors to show you and your team how to implement Rational tools, providing a unique, integrated process and tool solution for your environment.
RUP Modeler is a process customisation tool that enables process engineers to adapt the Rational Unified Process framework to meet their organisation's software development process needs. Process Workshop are a world leader in the use of RUP Modeler to define enterprise processes.
