The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is an
iterative software development process framework created by the
Rational Software Corporation, a division of
IBM since 2002. RUP is not a single concrete prescriptive process, but rather an adaptable process
framework, intended to be tailored by the development organizations and software project teams that will select the elements of the process that are appropriate for their needs.The Rational Unified Process is also a software process product, originally developed by Rational Software, and now available from IBM. The product includes a hyperlinked knowledge base with sample
artifacts and detailed descriptions for many different types of activities. RUP is included in the IBM Rational Method Composer (RMC) product which allows customization of the process.
