3.6 Summary
To conclude, the Unified Process is a design process framework that is hierarchical, as it is made up of cycles, comprising phases which are themselves made up of workflows that describe how activities are linked. It is engineered because it specifies these activities, who should carry them out (although we don’t explicitly identify particular roles for those carrying out activities in this book) and the artefacts produced by the activities. Finally, the key elements of the Unified Process are that it is:
-
iterative and incremental
-
risk-driven
-
architecture-centric
-
use case-driven.
