What is RUP?

IBM Rational Unified Process (RUP) is like an online mentor that provides guidelines, templates, and examples for all aspects and stages of program development. RUP is not a blueprint that can't be deviated from, but rather an outline that gives people a viewpoint on how things can be done.

The unified Process would be easy if people wouldn't be involved... But, as long as there are people involved, unified process has much more to do with the people, then with technology. The reality is that the Rational Unified Process is a great process, but implementing it is more difficult because we are in a people business.
