Résumé

"I highly recommend this book for anyone who's ever tried to implement RUP on a small project. Pollice and company have demystified and effectively scaled the process while ensuring that its essence hasn't been compromised. A must-have for any RUPster's library!"

Chris Soskin, Process Engineering Consultant, Toyota Motor Sales

Do you want to improve the process on your next project? Perhaps you'd like to combine the best practices from the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and from agile methodologies (such as Extreme Programming). If so, buy this book!

Software Development for Small Teams describes an entire software development project, from the initial customer contact through delivery of the software. Through a case study, it describes how one small, distributed team designed and applied a successful process. But this is not a perfect case study. The story includes what worked and what didn't, and describes how the team might change its process for the next project. The authors encourage you to assess their results and to use the lessons learned on your next project.

Key topics covered include:

Achieving a balance between people, process, and tools; recognizing that software development is primarily a human endeavor
Using RUP as an appropriate foundation for a small project; combining RUP and agile principles to create a workable process
Configuring a process that supports the project members, helping them work more effectively
Adjusting the process over the course of the project
Selecting tools to support a small, distributed team
Dealing effectively with your customer

Whether you're a project lead, a programmer, or another member of the development team, this book will show you how to tap the strengths of specific processes to dramatically increase the productivity of your team.
