Abstract
RUP is a complete software-development process framework that comes with several out-of-the-box instances. Processes
derived from RUP vary from lightweight-addressing the needs of small projects with short product cycles-to more
comprehensive processes addressing the broader needs of large, possibly distributed, project teams. Projects of all
types and sizes have successfully used RUP. This white paper describes how to apply RUP in a lightweight manner to
small projects. We describe how to effectively apply eXtreme Programming (XP) techniques within the broader context of
a complete project.
