The Unified Software Development Process or Unified Process is a popular iterative and incremental software development process framework. Profile of a typical project showing the relative sizes of the four phases of the Unified Process. The Unified Process is not simply a process, but rather an extensible framework which should be customized for specific organizations or projects.
The Rational Unified Process is, similarly, a customizable framework. As a result it is often impossible to say whether a refinement of the process was derived from UP or from RUP, and so the names tend to be used interchangeably. Since then various authors unaffiliated with Rational Software have published books and articles using the name Unified Process, whereas authors affiliated with Rational Software have favored the name Rational Unified Process. Unified Process Characteristics.
Iterative and Incremental. The Elaboration, Construction and Transition phases are divided into a series of timeboxed iterations. The Inception phase may also be divided into iterations for a large project. Each iteration results in an increment, which is a release of the system that contains added or improved functionality compared with the previous release. Requirements, Design, Implementation, Testing the relative effort and emphasis will change over the course of the project.
Use Case Driven. Each iteration takes a set of use cases or scenarios from requirements all the way through implementation, test and deployment.
Architecture Centric. Since no single model is sufficient to cover all aspects of a system, the Unified Process supports multiple architectural models and views.
This partial implementation of the system serves and validate the architecture and act as a foundation for remaining development. Risk Focused. Kill the project and start over. How do you get aligned?
Focus on ambiguity and workflow. Anything that the business is having trouble clearly articulating needs to be clarified in a hurry. Build a prototype, however crudely, and have a conversation around it. The idea is to build the essential software elements and get them in front of the users so they can see how the software will deliver the results they want. If they like what they see, build out the prototype into a finished product in future sprints.
Also spend time demonstrating how the software will flow from one user task to the next. For example, the user searches for an item, views it, edits it, saves it, and searches for the next item. What will happen if the user is distracted part way through and needs to save state and return later?
Flow equals productivity. In a big, complex, software system, the business and technical teams have to synchronize their efforts early and often. Reduce development costs. Agreed project specification, architecture, and tech solutions allow us to describe the project in more detail, prioritize tasks more effectively, and schedule the development phase in a better way. When you start a new mobile app project, there is tons of work to be done - selecting the best mobile app development team, shaping the business idea, clarifying requirements, creating technical documentation , and finding the most appropriate tech solutions.
There are too many tasks for a non-tech person. To complete all of these tasks you can hire a development team to start the inception phase. The inception phase is a unified process of collecting and analyzing information about the project for:. The business analysis part of this phase helps to understand the end-users, their needs, and requirements. The technical aspect of the process leads to the system requirements specification that includes information necessary for development—for example, primary and additional features, measurable deliverables, and more.
At the end of the inception phase, you'll have a well-rounded and in-depth understanding of the project goals, scope, and limitations. Our designer will create screens of design proposals or assessment reports of existing designs. Try it on the link ].
Our team estimates the implementation of the project and plans the development resources for the next phase. Since the inception phase is a unified process that includes many tasks from different areas, we gather the following team members that have specialized expertise in a particular sphere:.
The client acknowledges that the completion of the Deliverables under this proposal depends on and requires the client's commitment to provide all information needed to complete deliverables, give access to the necessary product owners and technical participants, and provide access to assets required by this phase.
You, as a client, agree to timely provide the mentioned above resources for The App Solutions to fully comply with its obligations under this proposal. The inception phase kicks off after you've signed an NDA, given us the project vision, and approved a rough project estimation. The inception phase includes the following software project planning activities:. During this planning phase of the software development life cycle, our business analyst schedules a call with you to clarify your project objectives and strategy, including target users, monetization models, an estimated number of users, and project scaling perspectives.
Next, the Business Analyst BA conducts market and competitor research to find out whether there is a place for such a business case in the market and to show how many similar projects already exist. We write down technical requirements for your project's business case and start creating project technical documentation with use cases, user stories, suitable technologies, and third-party integrations.
Using the use cases of your project, our designer starts making layouts, wireframes, and prototypes while consulting with you on each result. Now, using a technical project specification, we prioritize features to identify the MVP's scope, i.
In this case, the main inception phase objective is to disprove or confirm your business idea. To achieve this, we create technical documentation so that you can build the project's MVP. The main deliverables are user stories, use cases, mockups, diagrams with system architecture recommendations, a list with technologies, third-party integrations, and precise estimation of project cost and length.
If you have a ready-made project design and prototype, you can hire us to shape the technical side of your project, such as system architecture, user stories, and feature lists.
