Remember that RUP is a process framework. The intention is that you tailor
it to your own environment. That being the case, when you instantiate RUP as
your own process, you can make it as close to XP as you want, as far away as
you want, or some where in between. RUP is not a process - it is a process
framework. 

In a recent issue of the Edge there was an article that might be of help. As
I recall, it made the case that XP is a light implementation of RUP. You
might find other information beyond this in the Edge or, if you have access,
search the RDN. There is also some stuff on Martin Fowler's web site
(www.martinfowler.com) that talks about agile processes versus RUP. I think
the article has something about new methodology in the title. You may also
want to post your question to the rup_forum and/or talk with your local
account team. You never know what will turn up.

Regards,
John

Hi group.

Our company is suffering a process and productivity crisis and we are
discussing  rigth now about our process. I try to defend RUP (in a ligth
way) has a way to improve our process and other argues that XP and Agile
aproach could be better (non documents, recording meetings and programming
approach).

The XP approach sounds good to the old fashion programmers (the ones with
more power at the company) and they argue that all that documenttion, desing
and steps delays our process. The next week I must defend my position and I
trying to gather my best arguments so I can should that a methodological
apporach is the bets way to improve.

Can you share some of your strongest and evident arguments with me?

thanks group.
