(ROSE) RE: (RUP) RUP - Rational Unified Process.

[Naidu, Om]

Thanks Rich!  Since, I am expecting a technical answer, I took it for granted that all these analysis have been done already and the company bought "n" number of licenses Rational Suite and "n" number of ClearCase licenses .May be, let us assume, the company has already bought due to aggressive selling from Rational and I enter the saga as a savior to implement the RUP. Indeed, I know, in my experience, companies bought licenses and they are idle without implementation.

Hi there,   I realize that you are trying to obtain some tactical approach to implementing RUP. However, before you can do that, I think that you need to answer some business questions first.  Let's pretend I am a new Pfizer Dir. of Dev. and I have just noticed that I spent a modest but significant amount of my budget purchasing licenses and maintenance for Clearcase and Enterprise suite.  I'm curious, and so I come to you and ask, "What problem with the current development environment or process is going to be addressed with this expenditure, and what other expentitures should I plan for to put these tools into use?"  Can you tell me? I hope so, because implementing all of these tools in a tight technical integration may be a very state of the art and cool thing to do, but I would want to make sure that I get a return on my investment, not risk development milestones already committed, and not create a huge new cost center that burdens the organization.   Depending on your answer, you would probably want to give some thought as to what makes sense to improve first, and how you will know you succeeded. Which I would have done before buying anything.   Does this make sense to you?

Respected Gentlemen! All said and done about RUP. It is a process with six+ steps of best practice. Can someone tell me technically from the tools point of view, namely, ReqPro,Rose,ClearQuest,ClearCase,TestManager, how does one implement the process.?  How they seamlessly integrate and communicate with each other?. How do they form a traceability..? Let us discuss the Classic Web project. Not as it is given by Rational Tutorials. Let us start from the initial phase. I walk into Blockbuster and convince him to get the Classic Web project. Please, can someone explain how do we go about, implementing RUP using the above tools. I would like to walk through the tools application than theoretical discussion. I am starting here with step 0. Step 0. Bought 10 licenses of ClearCase - Full version. Bought 10 licenses of Rational Enterprise Suite. Step 1...? < fill in your answers here. If you feel you are giving more details, please break them into steps. Please, maintain proper anachronism. i.e. time based steps, step 1 has to complete for step 2 to proceed ...like that.> Thanks and regards, I am starting this thread to have all of us understood from implementation point of view, especially for guys like me. I have 5+ years of ClearCase and 3+ years of ClearQuest experience. It would be nice to have discussions based on the above tools and their integration related point view than Software Engineering as it ought to be. I will also fill in my steps, what little I know, as it proceeds.
