RUP Vs DRUP

[kri shan]

How RUP is different from the DRUP ?

[Lasse Koskela]

I've always assumed that "DRUP" stands for "Distributed RUP" (which would imply that the difference is in being distributed), but it seems like the whole DRUP thing doesn't really exist (IBM/Rational doesn't seem to use the term and Google can't find anything about it). We might as well drop the DRUP from the forum's name...

I second this......

It would be nice to add EUP, particularly because there is a fair bit written about it and there will soon be a new book out on the subject.

It's short for Enterprise Unified Process.
Scott's company is selling it as a kind of an extended RUP which covers more of a product's lifecycle than just its development.

So what is DRUP? I googled it and found very little. Whatis.com didn't have a clue! www.drup.com connected to an guru from Oz who wanted to know why I couldn't attend his seminar in Sidney - not exactly the staid standards body website I was expecting.... ;-)

Nobody knows... That's why we're taking it off of the forum name

What about IRUP, the IrRational Unified Process?
