Objective
The objective of this Webinar is to show the relationships between
the Project Management Institutes (PMI) Project Management Body
of Knowledge (PMBOK) and the Rational Unified Process (RUP) to
assist you in integrating concepts, frameworks, disciplines, and
practices. Once these relationships are understood, you can tailor
the RUP for your specific project needs and still maintain
consistency with the PMI PMBOK.

Comparing PMIs PMBOK and RUP

PMBOK PM Guidelines based on industry best practices
RUP - Embodies software industry best practices
PMI - Focus is on a generic project lifecycle
RUP - Focus is on a generic Software Development
Lifecycle within a project lifecycle
PMBOK - Applies to any project in any industry
RUP Applies to software projects in any industry
PMBOK - Applicable to any size project
RUP - Tailorable to any size software project

IBM Software Group | Rational software

Comparing PMIs PMBOK and RUP (cont)

PMBOK - Describes the knowledge and practices generally
agreed to for successful project management. These
practices are presented in the form of project processes
(e.g. Initiating, Planning, etc,) to be performed in 5
process groups (e.g. Initiating, planning, etc.) that
sequence a project team through the management of the
development of their product.
RUP Provides the roles, activities, artifacts, guidelines,
and workflows necessary to implement practices during
the software development life cycle; including project
management practices consistent with the PMI PMBOK.
So, is RUP part of the PMBOK or is the PMBOK part of RUP?

PM Processes can be mapped to RUP Roles, Activities, and Artifacts

IBM Software Group | Rational software

Is it Really that Simple? Is a Map All We Need?

No, not really!
A map will help understand how RUP
embodies the PMBOK practices.
But it wont insure we stay consistent
with the PMBOK when we tailor the RUP.
and we always tailor RUP!

IBM Software Group | Rational software

RUP Roles, Activities and Artifacts will Need to be Tailored

So, use the PMBOK as though it was an Existing Process

4 Steps to Building a PMBOK Consistent Development Case

1. Decide what PMBOK PM Process Artifacts in each of the 9
Knowledge Areas you plan to apply.
2. Consider the PMBOK PM Processes as your existing
capability
3. Tailor RUP by starting with the desired result
Select each of the Roles and Activities Diagrams in RUP (it
has roles, activities, and artifacts in one diagram),
Decide on the artifacts you will do,
Decide what activities will be needed to build the artifacts,
Decide what roles will be needed to perform the activities.
4. For each RUP artifact..(see next slide)

IBM Software Group | Rational software

4 Steps to Building a PMBOK Consistent Development Case

4. For each RUP artifact:
Decide if you are going to use the RUP artifact, replace it with the
PMBOK artifact, or tailor it.
If you are going to use the PMBOK artifact, then check the RUP
artifact to determine if it is an input to another RUP activity and
insure you will have the necessary information in the PMBOK
artifact.
If you dont use the RUP artifact or tailor it, then check the
PMBOK artifact to determine if it is an input to another PM
Process and insure you will have the necessary information.
Make sure that the PM Processes that build the PMBOK artifacts
are still covered in the RUP activities.

Summary
The PMI PMBOK is a guide that organizes and provides insight
into generally accepted project management practices.
RUP embodies the PMI PMBOK PM practices for a specific
application area: software development.
RUP can be tailored and still maintain consistency with the PMI
PMBOK.

Using the PMBOK as an existing process while tailoring the RUP for your
project, can help insure effective PM practices are not removed.
