Think again. Some people claim that the Rational Unified Process™ (RUP) is only useful for "green field" development, that is, the development of a brand new system, from the ground up, in an empty green field. They contend that it cannot be used for further development or evolution of a "legacy" system. I strongly disagree: I know that large portions of the RUP can be used to evolve an existing system. Actually, about 80 percent of the sites where the RUP is used today include some form of legacy.
