Stop using processes?
April 8th, 2007Ivar Jacobson, one of the inventors of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) has published an article in DDJ where he argues that we ought to stop using processes, and concentrate on practices instead. This has caused some irritation. My comment was:
“Brendon, I think to be fair one should mention that the RUP authors have always said that RUP was a framework that needed to be adopted to whatever the requirements of the project. They’ve also stated time and again that the discipline’s workflows are *basic* workflows, and that rarely every activity needed to be worked, nor is every artifact to be completed in all projects. Also, from day 1, the RUP stated that what’s most important is to build executable software rather than to document every step of the way. However, interestingly enough, organisations wouldn’t listen, and started to follow every single step the RUP ever described, getting overwhelmed by so much process overdose. Probably, with hindsight, it was a blunder to call UP a process. It should have been Unified Practices.
So in essense, IMHO Jacobson hasn’t really come up with a new concept, rather he’s finally found another approach where people would listen. But the meaning of what he says seems mostly unchanged.”
