Improvement context

• Company – Large chain of food stores
• Project – Software development project
• Product – Company’s Intranet – complex solution,

integrated with different programs, user focused system, used by many people, constantly changing

• Process – Rational Unified Process (RUP)
• Problem – Implementation stage of the process is

not so effective

Improvement goals

• Reduce time-to-market period -> get more satisfied

customer

• Possibility to work on same code, merge changes across

same files, know who did what -> improve developers’ work/teamwork

• Easy Back-up, roll-back, history change (versions, new

functionalities) –> better prepared for emergency

Improvement – suggested changes

• Moving from Rational Unified Process (RUP) to Agile
