I recently went through a series of books from Addison-Wesley’s RUP series on learning and using the Rational Unified Process, and letting it make the most sense for your projects.
One thing’s for sure: it’s impossible for any one person to “know” the Rational Unified Process in and out. So, stop right there if you’re looking to get the printed documentation of RUP, because it’s logistically impossible to bundle it all into a paperback book. These titles give a bird’s eye view of what RUP is and how it can be leveraged for optimal productivity in the vein of software development.
