     <mainDescription>&lt;p&gt; OpenUP/Basic is an iterative process with &lt;a class=&quot;elementlinkwithusertext&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup_basic/guidances/concepts/core_principle_evolve,_GXiogMvoEdqukPpotm3DYg.html&quot; guid=&quot;_GXiogMvoEdqukPpotm3DYg&quot;&gt;iterations&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;distributed

 &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt; Each phase may have as many iterations as needed, depending on degree of novelty
   of the business domain, technology being used, architectural complexity, and
   project size, to name a few factors. &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt; To offer a quick start for teams to plan their iterations,&amp;nbsp;OpenUP/Basic
   provides&amp;nbsp;work breakdown structure (WBS) templates for each iteration and
   a WBS template for an end-to-end process. &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p&gt; Iterations may have variable lengths, depending on project characteristics.
   One-month iterations are typically recommended, because
   this timeframe provides: &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;ul&gt;
   &lt;li&gt; A reasonable amount of time for projects to
     deliver meaningful increments in functionality. &lt;/li&gt;
   &lt;li&gt; Early and frequent customer feedback. &lt;/li&gt;
   &lt;li&gt; Timely management of risks and issues during the course of the project.
   &lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;/ul&gt;
 &lt;p&gt; OpenUP/Basic is intended&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;to
   offer process guidance to small projects: &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;

     &lt;div class=&quot;O&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1&quot; v:shape=&quot;_x0000_s1026&quot;&gt;
       3&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;6 people on the team &lt;/div&gt;
     &lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;

     &lt;div class=&quot;O&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-left-alt: 216; mso-char-wrap: 1; mso-kinsoku-overflow: 1&quot; v:shape=&quot;_x0000_s1026&quot;&gt;
       3&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;6 months of work&lt;/div&gt;
     &lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;/ul&gt;</mainDescription>
     <purpose>&lt;p&gt;
     The purposes of this delivery process are to:
 &lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;ul&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;
         Offer process guidance for small-scale projects
     &lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;
         Allow project managers to create project plans based on the proposed work breakdown structures
     &lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;
         Allow project managers to track status based on goals
     &lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;
         Allow&amp;nbsp;team members&amp;nbsp;to understand how to perform their work to achieve project goals
     &lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;
         Provide a complete, end-to-end delivery process that serves as an example for defining alternative delivery
         processes
     &lt;/li&gt;
