The implementation, adaptation, and use of the Rational Unified Process at Volvo Information Technology : a case study
The use of systems development methods are, by many, seen as the way to solve development problems, decrease development time, and improve the quality of software systems. Despite this, little is known about how development methods are actually used in the software industry. The aim of this project...
