Summary
This chapter introduced some of the most critical components of the RUP process framework. It covered the history and evolution of RUP and its certification program from its origin until today. It also looked ahead into a possible future of RUP. Using some basic RUP terminologies, this chapter mapped RUP concepts to the structure of the book. Now that you have read this chapter, try to name a few key principles, disciplines, and RUP phases and approach the exercises. By the end of this book, you will have internalized them.
