Team
Efficiency!
Iterative
development and the Rational Unified Process can provide large and small software teams with both
increased business return on investment and
improved internal operational
efficiencies. Combined with Rational's
workflow management software tools, teams can
achieve the ability to deliver products on-schedule
and on budget. Those products will typically be
of a higher quality than those produced before
adopting RUP and Rational tools.
The
GUI and Web versions
of
Rational software products allow technical teams,
project managers and customer stakeholders to keep in touch in a
highly effective way. Adoption of the Rational
RUP methodology and the Rational tool set will
result in
better team communication on
technical issues, a more complete understanding of the project domain, and happier
customers.
The
frustrations that technical team members face when
communication with other team members and with the
customer breaks down becomes less of an issue.
Rational allows a development team to see the road
up ahead clearly.
Rational's
enterprise suite of tools provide a set of integrated team development management programs. (see
table at right). These tools automate
the life-cycle development work of the following software team
roles:
Project

Rational's
methodology and toolset are fast becoming an industry
standard for large and small software teams around the world.
