- Philippe Kruchten
Philippe Kruchten was formerly the Director of Process Development (RUP) at
Rational Software . He then held the same title when Rational was acquired byIBM in 2003. He is currently a Professor of Software Engineering atUniversity of British Columbia inVancouver ,Canada .Much of Philippe Kruchten’s work has involved the
Rational Unified Process . The RUP is a detailed software development process framework. It was developed from years of experience from many companies and many projects. It is now available as a web-based product. The RUP is not a one-size-fits-all process; rather it is a framework that can be customized to fit the size and needs of a particular software development organization. It allows for customization with the use of "plugins " which allows your organization to tailor the RUP. For example you can customize your process by importing a plugin for a type of standard software technology that you are using.He designed the
4+1 view model.Publications
