IBM Rational Unified Process™ , or RUP™ , is a well regarded software development methodology. The full benefits of RUP can be realized only if this off-the-shelf methodology can be tailored to suite each software development project in your organization. Furthermore, your RUP investment can be substantially leverages if you are able to enact (execute) the resulting tailored processes. Successful deployment of RUP remains an unrealized goal for many RUP adopters.
In this webinar, we will first introduce the SPEM (Software Process Engineering Metamodel) specification from OMG (Object Management Group). SPEM is an open standard for modeling and tailoring any software development process, including RUP processes. We will then use the IRIS process automation suite from Osellus to demonstrate:
- How a representative RUP process can be modeled in SPEM
- Published for the general consumption of the development team
- Tailored for a specific project
- Enacted across a the full development life cycle
This webinar will be co-presented by Philippe Kruchten

Philippe Kruchten spent 16 years at Rational Software (now IBM), where he developed the Rational Unified Process: a software engineering handbook used by half a million developers around the world. He is the author of 5 books, in particular The Rational Unified Process-An introduction, 3rd ed (2003) which has sold 180,000 copies in 3 editions and 9 languages, and RUP Made Easy: the practioner's guide to RUP (2003), with Per Kroll, both published by Addison-Wesley. Currently, he is a professor of software engineering at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, Canada.
