Agile Unified Process

A lightweight, easy-to-grasp method for building business application software using agile practices, delivered as a streamlined version of the Rational Unified Process (RUP).

Key Points

  • Iterative, incremental lifecycle with frequent stakeholder feedback and demos.
  • Retains RUP phases (Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Transition) but with just-enough modeling and minimal ceremony.
  • Emphasizes early, risk-driven architecture plus continuous testing, integration, and deployment.
  • Simplified roles and artifacts suited to small and mid-sized teams delivering business applications.

Example

A retailer building a new point-of-sale system adopts AUP: the team runs 2-week iterations, starts with a brief inception to align vision and risks, sketches a lean architecture, implements the highest-risk features first, continuously tests and integrates, and delivers a working increment to store managers at the end of each iteration.

PMP Example Question

Which statement best describes the Agile Unified Process (AUP)?

  1. A set of Scrum ceremonies with no documentation or architecture.
  2. A streamlined, agile-focused variant of RUP used to develop business applications.
  3. A predictive method for managing large construction and infrastructure projects.
  4. A scaling framework for coordinating multiple Scrum teams without lifecycle guidance.

Correct Answer: B — A streamlined, agile-focused variant of RUP

Explanation: AUP simplifies RUP and applies agile practices to deliver business software iteratively; it is not pure Scrum, predictive, or solely a scaling approach.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
