True or False: In the RUP, phases are directly equated with process activities (workflows), just like in the waterfall model.
Correct Answer
False
Explanation
False. Unlike the waterfall model where phases are equated with process activities, in the RUP phases are more closely related to business rather than technical concerns. Workflows are static technical activities that are not associated with a single phase — in principle, all workflows may be active at all stages of the process.
