Abstract

Action Research has been used for the improvement of processes which help researchers to learn from actions in defined situations. The Unified Process has been developed as a framework for implementing software. This paper reports on the combination of a reflective approach like the Action Research method and an object oriented development process like the Unified Process to improve project management in software engineering projects for cost-effective reasons.
