Course description: Rational Unified Process and Iterative Development Boot Camp

Part 1: During the first two days, learn about Rational Unified Process (RUP).

Part 2: On the third and forth days, dive deeper into the changes needed to transition from traditional to iterative project management.

Web Based Training (WBT): Access the entire catalog of WBT courses for a 30 day trial. Rational WBT courses provide a training advantage for you, helping you get up to speed on Rational tools and best practices. Reinforce your learning, take the courses you need, at your convenience, at your own pace, and use the self-assessments to measure your progress.

This boot camp is a combination of the following two courses and WBT:

• PRJ270: Essentials of the Rational Unified Process V7.0 (RP401), 2 days
• PRJ480: Mastering the Management of Iterative Development V2 (RP601), 2 days
• Web Based Training (30 day trial)

This is an advanced, fast paced boot camp course for individuals who fill the role of process engineers, technical managers, project leads, analysts and designers, software architects and engineers, configuration management individuals, testing and quality-assurance individuals, and individuals who need an overview of the RUP. No knowledge of RUP is assumed.
