great article on agile/waterfall re rup

The title alone (How to Fail with the Rational Unified Process: 
Seven Steps to Pain and Suffering by Larman, Kruchten and Bittner) 
make this article worth reading ;)  See
http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~cc/courses/isad/articles/larman01howto.pdf

However, on page 2 (Figure 1) there is a "Changing Requirements Are 
the Norm" graph which shows the bigger the project, the more the 
requirements change as a % of the original.  This is precisely the 
point made earlier about why very large up-front requirements are 
virtually never that useful.  If you really need them because the 
project is big, by the time you get to using them they are out of 
date.  Nice to have some documentation about this.

Great article - worth reading and recommending IMHO.
