    OpenUP has been heavily influenced by Scrum &lt;a class=&quot;elementlinkwithusertext&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../openup/guidances/supportingmaterials/references.html#SCH04&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg&quot;>[SCH04]&lt;/a>, Eclipse Way &lt;a class=&quot;elementlinkwithusertext&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../openup/guidances/supportingmaterials/references.html#JAZZ&quot; guid=&quot;_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg&quot;>[JAZZ]&lt;/a>,&#xD;
    XP &lt;a class=&quot;elementlinkwithusertext&quot; href=&quot;./../../../openup/guidances/supportingmaterials/references.html#BEC05&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg&quot;>[BEC05]&lt;/a>, DSDM &lt;a class=&quot;elementlinkwithusertext&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../openup/guidances/supportingmaterials/references.html#DSDM&quot; guid=&quot;_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg&quot;>[DSDM]&lt;/a>,&#xD;
    and RUP &lt;a class=&quot;elementlinkwithusertext&quot; href=&quot;./../../../openup/guidances/supportingmaterials/references.html#RUP06&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg&quot;>[RUP06]&lt;/a>.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The Iteration Lifecycle borrows from Scrum’s practices around self organization and leverages Product and Sprint&#xD;
        Backlogs (represented in OpenUP by &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
        href=&quot;./../../../openup/workproducts/work_items_list.html&quot; guid=&quot;_rGNWsCbSEdqh1LYUOGRh2A&quot;>Work Items List&lt;/a>). The&#xD;
        Iteration Lifecycle also borrows from the Eclipse Way describing how the focus of the team changes as it goes&#xD;
        through an iteration.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The Micro-Increments content borrows primarily from RUP in the areas of requirements, architecture and test, and XP&#xD;
        for guidance on test-driven development, among others.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        The Project Lifecycle borrows primarily from RUP, with the 4 phases, focus on stakeholder oversight, and the&#xD;
        balance between risk mitigation and value creation, as well as DSDM for stakeholder involvement.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    OpenUP has also been influenced by many other sources, including many books and individual practitioners, too many to&#xD;
    be mentioned, see &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../../openup/guidances/supportingmaterials/references.html&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_9ToeIB83Edqsvps02rpOOg&quot;>References&lt;/a>. It is the objective of the team that develops OpenUP to continually&#xD;
    harvest what has been proven to work, and what we ourselves have had successes with, to continuously evolve OpenUP.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    We invite the broader community to contribute to the ongoing evolution of OpenUP.&#xD;
