Unified Process vs. Agile Methodologies
Charlie's week-long investigations into documentation seem to him to have lasted longer. Documentation does not excite him, while Suzanne cheerfully informs him that she is enjoying herself while investigating the interfaces and help systems of the new generation of cell phones.
Charlie immediately perks up when he hears the focus of this unit's assignment-Agile modeling methodologies. Suzanne has learned not to get between Charlie and the door when he gets excited! As Suzanne watches Charlie race down the hallway, she has to admit to herself that investigating the UP and Agile modeling methodologies could be interesting.
Answer the following questions:
• When would it be unwise to use either of these methodologies?
• Would you consider using an Agile methodology such as Scrum or XP in one of your projects? Justify your response.
• Would you choose UP over the Agile methodology for some projects? Justify your response.
