2.10. What are the UP Phases?
A UP project organizes the work and iterations across four major phases:
- Inception
approximate vision, business case, scope, vague estimates. - Elaboration
refined vision, iterative implementation of the core architecture, resolution of high risks, identification of most requirements and scope, more realistic estimates. - Construction
iterative implementation of the remaining lower risk and easier elements, and preparation for deployment. - Transition
beta tests, deployment.
