Process Methodology
Rational Unified Process (RUP)
Inception
The team will identify the project scope, requirements (functional and non-functional) and risks at a high level but in enough detail that work can be estimated.
Elaboration
The team will deliver a working architecture and identify the technologies being used that mitigates the top risks and fulfills the non-functional requirements.
Construction
The team will incrementally fill in additional architecture with production ready code produced from analysis, design, implementation, and test of the functional requirements. The team will follow the 5-week per iteration construction plan.
Transition
The team will finally deliver the system into the production operating environment and provide any necessary documentation for the support team and the users.
