My new Book: RUP Made Easy

This holiday (Out, 12th) I was at livraria Cultura in São Paulo and, of course, I couldn't resist... ....I bought "The Rational Unified Process Made Easy". It is a classic must-have book. Instead of tons of white papers about RUP that I have to carry in my backpack, I keep only this five-star book.

See a piece of Amazon's editorial review:

The Rational Unified Process Made Easy will teach you the key points involved in planning and managing iterative projects, the fundamentals of component design and software architecture, and the proper employment of use cases. All team members--from project managers to analysts, from developers to testers--will learn how to immediately apply the RUP to their work. You will learn that the RUP is a flexible, versatile process framework that can be tailored to suit the needs of development projects of all types and sizes.

Key topics covered include:

* How to use the RUP to develop iteratively, adopt an architecture-centric approach, mitigate risk, and verify software quality
* Tasks associated with the four phases of the RUP: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition
* Roles and responsibilities of project managers, architects, analysts, developers, testers, and process engineers in a RUP project
* Incrementally adopting the RUP with minimal risk
* Common patterns for failure with the RUP--and how to avoid them

Use this book to get quickly up to speed with the RUP, so you can easily employ the significant power of this process to increase the productivity of your team
