Project Management

The purpose of Project Management is:

  • to provide a framework for managing software-intensive projects.
  • to provide practical guidelines for planning, staffing, executing, and monitoring projects.
  • to provide a framework for managing risk.

However, this discipline of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) does not attempt to cover all aspects of project management. For example, it does not cover issues such as:

  • managing people: hiring, training, coaching
  • managing budget: defining, allocating, and so forth
  • managing contracts, with suppliers and customers

This discipline focuses mainly on the important aspects of an iterative development process, such as:

  • risk management
  • planning an iterative project, through the lifecycle and for a particular iteration
  • monitoring progress of an iterative project, metrics

The following documents describe a method for applying the project management discipline activities to Rational Analyst Studio tools.

The project lifecycle This is a document that describes the software development lifecycle, and includes:
  • an overview of the process, from business modeling through to analysis and design.
  • the reasons for each of the steps in the process.
  • how the artifacts are organized.
  The following diagram will show where each of the project management   documents maps to a RUP activity. The mapping is not 1 to 1, and some presentations may encompass several activities.
