Experience the Product

This is part 3 of 4 of a post on how to iterate with RUP. The introduction to this post can be found at ScrumUP Fairytale - Part 4.

We now take a closer look at the accepting side of the process. Since software delivery is a cyclic process, acceptance is conducted in a cyclic manner as well. Although Subject Matter Experts and the Product Owner have already been involved in the software development cycle, it is now time for the accepting organization to have a thorough look at the increment built and to get stakeholders (customer, users, administrators) to experience and familiarize themselves with the product and give feedback on it.

In Figure 46 and Figure 47 we build up a workflow explaining a RUP based process of getting the product accepted and the receiving organization to familiarize themselves with it. A key to the symbols used in this workflow can be found here.
