[Steve Fenton]

I worked at an organisation that used terminology from RUP, so this read was to find out more about it. There are some good intentions under the hood, though there are drawbacks to any approach that is so productised (this was a packaged up set of tools, techniques, and process that was going after money). It's worth reading as many different ideas on process as you can... otherwise you don't _really_ know process.

I didn't quite get the material and as per 2019 a lot of materials are outdated. Many teams are using more advanced techniques nowaday. Therefore, per my taste book was neither too helpful nor that bad.

Very useful guide for RUP.

Nothing more, nothing less than an introduction to RUP. Not particularly an interesting read.
