Abstract
In the last decades the complexity of software development projects had a significant increase. This complexity emerges from the higher degree of sophistication in the contexts they aim to serve and from the evolution of the functionalities implemented by the applications However, many software corporations have a reduced dimension (micro, small or medium) which imposes a considerable constraint to the number of individuals that might be involved in each project. This limitation has obvious consequences to the individual’s efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper we describe a Rational Unified Process (RUP) tailoring to simplify the number of RUP roles. With this tailoring we obtain one set of RUP roles that, without neglecting any critical role of the software development process, may easily be adopted by a small or medium software development team. In this paper, we present and justify a complete set of mapping rules between RUP roles and one possible configuration for small software development teams.
