About WUP

The Web Unified Process is a light-weight combination of a couple of agile development methods and UML. Its name is pretentious, I know. However, the aim of the method is to provide web developers with a tool to streamline their projects and deliver products of high quality. Here at Centrical, we think of it as rather practical. Try it, and see if you like it, too.

You can also download it as a Word file or PDF in our downloads section.
