Boldly goes where no RUP has gone before

In their book, "The Enterprise Unified Process: Extending the Rational Unified Process", Scott Ambler, John Nalbone, and Michael Vizdos boldly lead the reader out of the myopia of RUP's single project focus into the light of enterprise-wide IT disciplines and processes.
This book provides proven approaches to the enterprise-wide challenges inherent to developing, maintaining, and operating complex IT environments and projects. Enterprise Architects will want to pay particular attention to the chapter, "The Enterprise Administration Discipline" when working with ITSM groups utilizing ITIL Version 3. This chapter facilitates communication and collaboration between Enterprise Architecture teams and IT Service Management teams. Professionals on IT projects who are unfamiliar with the nature and purpose of Enterprise Architecture will want to particular attention to the chapter, "The Enterprise Architecture Discipline". This chapter defines the Enterprise Architecture function, and shows why it lies beyond the bounds of a single project; a common misunderstanding for RUP practitioners.
