The chances of successfully implementing a change within any organization increase significantly with the amount of motivation for the change and the passion the organization brings to the effort. The IBM Tivoli Rome Laboratory recently embarked on such a change as it adopted the IBM Rational Unified Process, or IBM RUP, solution. As the largest software development facility in Italy, the Tivoli Rome Lab has a staff of about 550 employees, including software developers, test engineers, project managers, architects, designers, system engineers and IT specialists. This white paper describes the experiences of the Rome lab in implementing RUP, detailing the motivation for the effort, its major steps, the key decisions made along the way and, ultimately, the results the lab has achieved.
