Software Development for Small Teams by Gary Pollice
Many in the extreme and agile communities have long held the RationalUnified Process as being an antithesis approach to program development -citing it as being too process oriented, too rigid and structured, and overlyconcerned with documentation. This book is Rational's reaction to thatinaccurate perception. Using a project case study that is carried throughout thebook, the authors illustrate how agile techniques can be used effectively in aRUP environment. While not taking the extreme or agile communities to taskfor their expressed disdain for process, this book shows that process caneffectively accommodate design and development approaches which are notusually associated with the RUP. Software Engineering for Small Projectssuccessfully extends the appeal of the Rational Unified Process.Gary Pollice has worked in software development for almost thirty-five years. He served as Rational Software's RUP Curmudgeon and has since moved on to academia, where he is a professor of practice in the Computer Science Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
Liz Augustine has worked in the software industry for more than twenty years, first as a software developer and now as a technical writer. Throughout her career, she has worked on projects to help software developers work more effectively.
Chris Lowe has developed software for Digital Equipment Corporation, Funk Software, Rational Software, and IBM. In his spare time, Chris is a member of Toastmasters International, plays the keyboards and sings at his church, volunteers for the Boston Museum of Science, and dabbles in woodworking.
Jas Madhur has worked in the high-tech sector in Vancouver, Canada, since 1985. He was part of the original Rational Unified Process (RUP) team, and has gone on to work as a consultant, establishing an e-learning company. He lectures on software engineering processes at the University of British Columbia, and is a member of the International Council of Systems Engineering (INCOSE).
