Four Process Phases
The Unified Process consists of cycles that may repeat over
the long-term life of a system. A cycle consists of four
phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction and Transition.
Each cycle is concluded with a release, there are also
releases within a cycle. Let's briefly review the four
phases in a cycle:
* Inception Phase - During the inception phase the core
idea is developed into a product vision. In this phase, we
review and confirm our understanding of the core business
drivers. We want to understand the business case for why the
project should be attempted. The inception phase establishes
the product feasibility and delimits the project scope.
* Elaboration Phase - During the elaboration phase the
majority of the Use Cases are specified in detail and the
system architecture is designed. This phase focuses on the
"Do-Ability" of the project. We identify significant risks
and prepare a schedule, staff and cost profile for the
entire project.
* Construction Phase - During the construction phase the
product is moved from the architectural baseline to a system
complete enough to transition to the user community. The
architectural baseline grows to become the completed system
as the design is refined into code.
* Transition Phase - In the transition phase the goal is
to ensure that the requirements have been met to the
satisfaction of the stakeholders. This phase is often
initiated with a beta release of the application. Other
activities include site preparation, manual completion, and
defect identification and correction. The transition phase
ends with a postmortem devoted to learning and recording
lessons for future cycles.

1. Inception
Inception is the smallest phase in the project, and ideally it should be quite short. If the Inception Phase is long then it may be an indication of excessive up-front specification, which is contradiction to the spirit of the Unified Process.
The following are typical goals for the Inception phase.
Establish a justification or business case for the project
Establish the project scope and boundary conditions
Outline the use cases and key requirements that will drive the design tradeoffs
Outline one or more candidate architectures
Identify risks
Prepare a preliminary project schedule and cost estimate
Feasibility
buy or develop it
The Lifecycle Objective Milestone marks the end of the Inception phase.
Develop an approximate vision of the system, make the business case, define the scope, and produce rough estimate for cost and schedule.
2. Elaboration(milestone)
During the Elaboration phase the project team is expected to capture a healthy majority of the system requirements. However, the primary goals of Elaboration are to address known risk factors and to establish and validate the system architecture. Common processes undertaken in this phase include the creation of use case diagrams, conceptual diagrams (class diagrams with only basic notation) and package diagrams (architectural diagrams).
The architecture is validated primarily through the implementation of an Executable Architecture Baseline. This is a partial implementation of the system which includes the core, most architecturally significant, components. It is built in a series of small, time boxed iterations. By the end of the Elaboration phase the system architecture must have stabilized and the executable architecture baseline must demonstrate that the architecture will support the key system functionality and exhibit the right behavior in terms of performance, scalability and cost.
The final Elaboration phase deliverable is a plan (including cost and schedule estimates) for the Construction phase. At this point the plan should be accurate and credible, since it should be based on the Elaboration phase experience and since significant risk factors should have been addressed during the Elaboration phase.
3. Construction(release)
Construction is the largest phase in the project. In this phase the remainder of the system is built on the foundation laid in Elaboration. System features are implemented in a series of short, timeboxed iterations. Each iteration results in an executable release of the software. It is customary to write full text use cases during the construction phase and each one becomes the start of a new iteration. Common UML (Unified Modelling Language) diagrams used during this phase include Activity, Sequence, Collaboration, State (Transition) and Interaction.
4. Transition(final production release)
The final project phase is Transition. In this phase the system is deployed to the target users. Feedback received from an initial release (or initial releases) may result in further refinements to be incorporated over the course of several Transition phase iterations. The Transition phase also includes system conversions and user training.

Unified process has emerged as a popular and effetive software dewelopement process.
In particular,the rational Unified process as modified at rational corporation is widely practised in many industries.
The Rational Unified Process only has four phases named
inception
elaboration
contruction
transition
