What is the "UP development methodologies"?

Question

What is it?

Or has the HT department got the job spec wrong.

Answer 1

Typo for Rational Unified Process (RUP) maybe?

Answer 2

I would guess UP means RUP - Rational Unified Process.

Answer 3

UP is a generic way of saying RUP (Rational Unified Process)

Check:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified%5FProcess

Answer 4

I think it is referring to the "Unified process" set of methodologies. Check out this link.

Small summary taken from link:

The Unified Process is an iterative and incremental development process. The Elaboration, Construction and Transition phases are divided into a series of timeboxed iterations. (The Inception phase may also be divided into iterations for a large project.) Each iteration results in an increment, which is a release of the system that contains added or improved functionality compared with the previous release.

Answer 5

UP, the Unified Process, is the process-side companion to UML.
