Agile unified process (AUP) is a simplified version of the rational unified process (RUP) developed by Scott Ambler.^[1] It describes a simple, easy to understand approach to developing business application software using agile techniques and concepts yet still remaining true to the RUP. The AUP applies agile techniques including test-driven development (TDD), agile modeling (AM), agile change management, and database refactoring to improve productivity.

In 2011 the AUP accounted for one percent of all the agile methodologies used.^[2] In 2012 the AUP was superseded by disciplined agile delivery (DAD). Since then work has ceased on evolving AUP.
