Agile is project execution methodology having simple and easy to use processes with a focus on time to market and delivery efficiency. The methodology of the agile development model emphasizes delivering incremental work package satisfying the business requirements, thus, resulting in a strong foundation for future development. Agile focuses on co-location and collaboration over well-defined processes. It aims on developing a usable product rather than a detailed follow up of processes. Agile enforces a dynamic work environment that can adapt to changes rather than resist them.
Agile Development Model has many variant practices, such as DSDM, XP, and SCRUM. The Agile Model permits initiating and proceeding with a project even when the requirements are not well defined. This results in reduced faults and cost benefits as the team learns and adapts to project needs RUP is an object-oriented and web-enabled project development methodology. The four phases are established in this and the number of separate iterations has to be organized where exist criteria must be defined before the next phase.
. RUP has six core following best practices for software development.
Develop in Iteration Manage Requirements Use Component Architectures Model Visually Continuously Verify Quality Manage Change The Rational Unified Process (RUP) provides a disciplined approach to assigning and managing tasks and responsibilities within a development organization. It ensures high-quality software products to meet end-user with a predictable budget and schedule.
In RUP the SDLC is broken into cycles, where each cycle is the work needed for a new generation of the product. These cycles are divided into four consecutive phases:
It ensures high-quality software products to meet end-user with a predictable budget and schedule.
