RUPV: Recovered Unified Process Views

Can we extract a Unified Process Diagram from a concrete project?

Effectively we ask, can we extract the hints of software development processes, can we mine processes from software repositories. This is an form of process mining that occurs after the fact, after programmers have done their work.
