The Rational Unified Process (RUP)

The Rational Unified Process formally consists of the following steps:

  • Inception - a discover phase, where an initial problem statement and functional requirements are created.
  • Elaboration - the product vision and architecture are defined, construction cycles are planned.
  • Construction - the software is taken from an architectural baseline to the point where it is ready to make the transition to the user community.
  • Transition - The software is turned into the hands of the user's community.
