A quick review of the PMBOK

Page 5

GreenLine Systems Inc. 2003 - 2013

The PMBOK has 5 Process Groups

Project management is accomplished through the appropriate application and integration of the 42 logically grouped project management processes comprising the 5 process groups.

PMBOK Processes are organized into 9 Knowledge Areas Integration Management Scope Management g Time Management Cost Management y Management g Quality Human Resource Management Communications Management Risk Management Procurement Management

What is the RUP?

GreenLine Systems Inc. 2003 - 2013

What is the RUP?

The RUP is not a book, a development method developed and published once and for all in paper form form. In contrast with the dusty binder approach, the RUP is designed, developed, delivered, and maintained like any software tool. The RUP shares many characteristics with software products: Designed and documented using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Delivered D li d online li using i W Web b technology. t h l Upgraded on a regular basis. It can be tailored and configured using Rational Method Composer (RMC). Built upon the unified method architecture meta-model. Its integrated i t t d with ith the th other th Rational R ti l tools. t l

RUP Dimensions
The RUP has two dimensions:
The horizontal dimension represents time and shows the lifecycle aspects of the process as it unfolds. The vertical dimension represents core process disciplines (or workflows), which logically group software engineering activities by y their nature.

How does the RUP compare to the PMBOK?

RUP
Software development Web-site delivery with lots of templates, whitepapers, & examples Project managementas well as software development focus Iterative Ad t th Adapt the process Phases and iterations specific to software development

PMBOK
Any project type Books & 3rd party resources Project management focus Progressive elaboration PMBOK is i a guide id rather th th than a methodology thats meant to be adapted Phases are specific to project type (software development, development construction, construction retail, etc.)

How can you use the RUP with the PMBOK ?

Leverage RUP first, then PMBOK RUP principles, processes, templates, and d examples l f focus on software ft development Leverage the PMBOK after the RUP Use the PMBOK to build upon the RUP where PMBOK processes such as Cost, Time, and Quality Management add to the RUP Become familiar with both the RUP and PMBOK templates Choose and adapt p the template p that works best

What is OpenUP?
OpenUP p is one of the agile g development p p processes created by IBM and the Eclipse Foundation. OpenUP applies iterative and incremental approaches to a structured SDLC. OpenUP is tools agnostic. OpenUP can be customized using the open source tool Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) composer. OpenUP is the primary practice library published by EPF. The others include ABRD, Scrum, and XP.

OpenUP Activities
Inception
Define project scope and architecture Define requirements

Elaboration
Prioritize work streams with business stakeholders Develop schedule and cost estimate

Construction
Incrementally develop, test, and deliver work packages Demo solution increments to business and get feedback

Transition
Beta test solution to validate that business expectations are met Achieve business concurrence that solution is complete

OpenUP Dimensions

The Deployment Discipline is not included in OpenUP. It was added for GreenLine Systems projects.

How does OpenUP compare to the RUP?

OpenUP is free. RUP costs $$$. Both OpenUP and RUP are tailorable. The OpenUP tailoring tool, Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) Composer is free. The RUP tailoring tool, Rational Method Composer, costs $$$. The RUP is iterative and can be agile. g OpenUP p is iterative and agile. g Both OpenUP and RUP are well defined. Both OpenUP and RUP are complete development processes. Both OpenUP and RUP have Phases and Disciplines.
OpenUP has 5 Disciplines. RUP has 9 Disciplines. OpenUP has 7 roles. roles RUP has 6 role groups with 36 roles. OpenUP has 17 Work Products. RUP has 76 Work Products.

Both OpenUP and RUP have roles.

Both OpenUP and RUP have Work Products (AKA Artifacts).

How can you customize OpenUP?

EPF Composer
EPF Composer p is built upon p the Eclipse p p platform. Supports many of the Eclipse plug-ins. Different Views present specific information.
For example, Library view shows plug-ins and their content.

Perspectives p g group p related views to support pp a workflow. Standard Perspectives are:

Authoring: g for editing g method content. Browsing: for previewing published elements.

EPF Composer Compared to Rational Method Composer

The Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) is an open-source project at eclipse.org. As proposed, IBM will donate major tool components and content from the next-generation RUP platform. The EPF tool contains full p process-authoring g and p publishing g capabilities. p The main difference between EPF and the Rational Method Composer tool is:
Lack of integration with other IBM Rational tools such as Rational Portfolio Manager and Rational Software Architect Lack of a migration capability from Rational Process Workbench.

The second part of this donation will include content supporting the new Basic Unified Process, a new agile process for small teams applying RUP principles and practices. For more information see: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/dec05/haumer/
