I haven't seen RUP successfully implemented. It may be usable in really, really huge projects involving hundreds of developers, I wouldn't know, I've never been a part of such projects (and I'm not sure I want to). :-) There is nothing wrong with splitting each development iteration in in phases, but for development to be successful each development iteration from the setting of requirements to the delivery shouldn't be longer than around a month. Each phase then gets so short that it's not useful to include it in a project plan. > What do you think ? I think RUP is a one of those really huge dinosaurs. Big, lumbering, not very agile, and generally outdated. :-) > Apart from comments on the white paper, it will be helpful if others post > their methodologies/approaches to CMS implementation with example. http://www.extremeprogramming.org/ We don't run it 100% (unfortunately) but being agile has certainly helped several of our projects.
