Paper - Next Generation Process - The Vision

A brief introduction to the Vision behind the Essential Unified Process.

The main vendors in the industry have their own tools and development environments which are mainly incompatible with each other.  Their aim, possibly, is to trap you into using just their tools.  Unfortunately, in reality, all this does is to lock you into using one toolset or another, or forces you to use multiple tools but all in isolation.  The reality is that most major companies use a variety of tools and environments.

Currently the issues of consistency across development platforms in terms of how people complete their allocated tasks can vary greatly according to the technical environment used.  This leads to lack of flexibility in terms of resource usage.  Our vision will provide the users of our approach a consistent set of tasks within software development that are truly independent.
