Top 10 Signs you've missed the point of the [Rational] Unified Process

[To be read with a drum roll and a David Letterman voice/accent:]

Here we go. Top 10 Signs you've missed the point of the Unified Process:

10. You whine about how much documentation you have to produce.

9. All the requirements, analysis, and design are done up front - but the "Construction" is done in "iterations"

8. Refactoring is not a part of the process - it's proof that you didn't get the design right early on.

7. Your project timelines slip due to scope creep.

6. You think Use-Case meetings should have every committed person on the design, development, business analysis teams, and all the end-users and other customers at them.

5. You haven't talked to the customer in over 3 weeks.

4. Testing is something you do at the end of development.

3. Integration is done at the end of the development.

2. You've left the most challenging pieces for last.

And the #1 sign you've missed the point of UP:

1. Your iterations last 3 months.
