What is this?
The purpose of this service is to facilitate the customers to customize the Rational Unified Process (RUP) to suit to the organization or project needs. The service closely follows the customization methodology as advocated in RUP. The following sections provide an overview of the activities involved.
Why this?
Any development team requires a process that is robust and helps the team achieve predictability. The process should also provide the team the benefits of industrial best practices. The Rational Unified Process is essentially an encapsulation of best practices in software development. It provides the necessary methods and guidelines to develop a quality software system. However, the process needs to be customized to cater to various organizations and projects. Each organization or project presents specific challenges. The RUP should be configured to cater to these challenges as against a rote adaptation of it. This provides the necessary formalism based on the current needs.
Who can benefit out of this?
Both stakeholders and the development team are benefited. Stakeholders get an assurance that the application is delivered based on proven industrial best practices with predictable results. The development team gets the benefit of optimal formalism that enables the forward development in a predictable manner.
What are the different models we offer?
Astra Infotech offers the following services with respect to Analysis and design:
- Training: One day training program on the foundations of RUP and another day for the basics of customization.
- Consulting: This service facilitates the project managers in evolving appropriate process for their projects. Our consultants work along with the project manager in establishing the appropriate process and implement the same.
- Quickstart: This is a combination of training and consulting. The methodology is imparted in a short time with the hands-on being done on the project itself. This provides the shortest path to implement the methodology, ideally suited for small teams and projects.
What is the normal working model?
- Trainings are imparted onsite with our trainers directly interacting with the project team
- Consulting is either done wholly onsite or using an onsite-offshore model. Part of the documentation activities could be done offshore. This offers cost effective model for the customers.
