Disciplines > Environment > Concepts > Implementing the Rational Unified Process

Process adaptation in general is covered in detail in the Environment discipline and in the Process Engineer Toolkit section.  The configured process is documented in Artifact: Development Case. Which artifacts are developed, and the extent to which they are developed, will vary from project to project depending on team size and risk. It is very unlikely that any project will use all artifacts to their fullest extent.

When you implement the process and tools for a new development environment, you must address the following:

  • Organization level. Some planning is required for the entire development organization to effectively implement a new process and tools. For example, to select pilot projects you also need to decide whether or not the organization needs to have a team who is responsible for process and tools that supports all software-development projects. See Implementing a Process in an Organization for further details.

  • Project level. Effectively implementing a new process and new tools in a software-development project can be a complex task that requires careful planning and management. See Implementing a Process in a Project for details.  

Both the organization level and the project level must be addressed to effectively implement process and tools.

Also see Concepts: Process Configuration for an introduction on how the process can be configured for the organization, as well as for individual projects.
