What are disciplines of Agile Unified Process (AUP) ?

AUP disciplines

Unlike the RUP, the AUP has only 7 disciplines :

1. Model

Understand the business of the organization, the problem domain being addressed by the project, and identify a viable solution to address the problem domain.

2. Implementation

Transform model(s) into executable code and perform a basic level of testing, in particular unit testing.

3. Test

Perform an objective evaluation to ensure quality. This includes finding defects, validating that the system works as designed, and verifying that the requirements are met.

4. Deployment

Plan for the delivery of the system and to execute the plan to make the system available to end users.

5. Configuration Management

Manage access to project artifacts. This includes not only tracking artifact versions over time but also controlling and managing changes to them.

6. Project Management

Direct the activities that takes place within the project. This includes managing risks, directing people (assigning tasks, tracking progress, etc.), and coordinating with people and systems outside the scope of the project to be sure that it is delivered on time and within budget.

7. Environment

Support the rest of the effort by ensuring that the proper process, guidance (standards and guidelines), and tools (hardware, software, etc.) are available for the team as needed.
