Translations:Agile Unified Process/6/en

1. Inception: the scope and size of the project are identified, an initial architecture is proposed, and the budget is set.
2. Elaboration: the suitability of the chosen architecture is confirmed. This is the phase that most distinguishes AUP from other agile frameworks: investing time in validating the architecture before building significantly reduces the risk of having to redo work.
3. Construction: incremental development of the system following the stakeholders' functional priorities, with regular deliveries.
4. Transition: final validation and deployment of the system into the production environment.
