| OpenUP/Basic is ready to use as-is; nothing needs to be added or removed. It can also be extended in large and small |
| ways to add new development content or customize the process for your specific environment. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <strong>Who should use OpenUP/Basic?</strong> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| OpenUP/Basic is most useful for four primary groups of users: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Software development practitioners (developers, project managers, analysts, and testers) working together as a |
| project team |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Stakeholders |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Software process engineers |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Instructors |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| Software development practitioners can find guidance on what is required of them in the roles defined by OpenUP/Basic. |
| Each role describes a set of activities and artifacts that the role is responsible for. Guidance is also given on how |
| those roles collaborate. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Stakeholders will find guidance on what they may expect from the software development team and how the software will be |
| created. OpenUP/Basic also describes the stakeholders' responsibilities and how they can best work with the development |
| team to obtain software that meets their needs. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Software process engineers can use EPF Composer to extend and modify OpenUP/Basic. Modification may be as simple as |
| altering templates for work products or as sophisticated as adding activities necessary for creating software in your |
| specific environment, such as audits for safety-critical systems. In addition to modifying method content, process |
| engineers can add, change, or remove process flows to add organization-specific capability patterns. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| OpenUP/Basic is appropriate for academic organizations also. As an open source process, it can serve as the basis for |
| software engineering courses and, when combined with the EPF Composer, courses in software process engineering.<br /> |
| </p></mainDescription> |
| <keyConsiderations><p> |
| Use OpenUP/Basic as-is when you have a small,&nbsp;co-located team. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Modify OpenUP/Basic for small teams with different circumstances, for instance a novel project or geographically |
| distributed team members. |
