RE: UP

[John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com>]

Keith...I'm going to assume that he means the generic version of RUP;
Rational Unified Process.

From the application:

The Rational Unified Process or RUP is a software engineering process.  It
provides a disciplined approach to assigning tasks and responsibilities
within a development organization.  Its goal is to ensure the production of
high-quality software that meets the needs of its end users within a
predictable schedule and budget.

The RUP has two dimensions:
-the horizontal axis represents time and shows the lifecycle aspects of the
process as it unfolds 
-the vertical axis represents disciplines, which group activities logically
by nature. 

The first dimension represents the dynamic aspect of the process as it is
enacted, and it is expressed in terms of phases, iterations, and milestones.

The second dimension represents the static aspect of the process: how it is
described in terms of process components, disciplines, activities,
workflows, artifacts, and roles.
