The ICONIX QuickStart Plug-In for RUP® uses the ICONIX Process; a minimalist, use-case driven, streamlined approach to software development. If you need the rigor of an industrial strength process like the RUP® but are not quite sure how to begin the process of tailoring it, the QuickStart Plug-In may be the answer.

Key Benefits

• Directly support the ICONIX Process as described in the book Use Case Driven Object Modeling, and the workbook Applying Use Case Driven Object Modeling by Doug Rosenberg and Kendall Scott.
• Helps projects avoid analysis paralysis by adopting a minimal yet sufficient subset of UML.
• Installs quickly and easily into RUP® to allow for rapid "out of the box" deployment.
• Focus on "Requirements" and "Analysis and Design" disciplines/workflows.
• Allow for future expansion - for example, driving use cases forward into test cases.
• Support an iterative and incremental delivery stategy without dictating the increment size or timing of an iteration.
• Provide a "quickstart" roadmap into the tailored process so that the user has a starting point for initiating work rapidly.
