The PMI Group, Inc. decided to replace its legacy mainframe system with a more flexible, extendable and maintainable J2EE-based system. The company needed an effective way to manage an outsourced development effort that spanned multiple countries and comprised three major development initiatives - each with two separate development projects. Specifically, PMI needed to define standards, convince the outsourcing vendor to follow those standards, and establish clear lines of communication between the two organizations. PMI adopted IBM Rational Unified Process to provide a consistent, proven methodology for the entire development effort. In addition, project standardization using IBM Rational Rose and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) helped the entire distributed team - including PMI business analysts and as offshore development groups - clearly communicate designs and specifications.
