Spec-DrivenMaturity: Emerging
AI Unified Process
Put the business spec first. Let AI build from it in four phases.

What it is
AI Unified Process is a spec-first workflow. You write the business intent first. AI then turns that intent into architecture, code, tests, and release work.
It uses four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition. Each phase has its own outputs and its own purpose.
Why it matters
The spec stays in charge. That makes change easier to manage. When the requirements change, you update the spec and let AI rebuild the parts below it.
