Introduction to the Unified Process

Course Overview

The Unified Process is a software engineering process that spans the entire project lifecycle and guides the development team in conducting both management and engineering activities. This one-day overview course provides an introduction to the Unified Process that emphasizes the explanation of key concepts including the use case requirements approach, controlled iterative development, and early validation of software architecture.

The course's structure follows the process' four phases and nine disciplines, with a strong emphasis on key activities and iterative development. Students apply the principles of iterative, use-cases driven development in hands on exercises.

The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is used where appropriate to illustrate process activities and documentation. The Unified Process is available as an online product in which the process roles, activities, artefacts, and tool support are described. This online product will be used to illustrate process details.
