 |
| It is important to note that the Management layer is built on the foundational <a class="elementLink" href="./../../openup/customcategories/collab_commun_layer_A3CDA6EF.html" guid="_r8cVIEmbEdu0xduwSKie-w">Communication and collaboration layer</a> to reflect the collaborative nature of
 |
| managing an OpenUP project. The manager should not plan an iteration in isolation, and then tell the team members
 |
| their assignments. Instead, the manager should be more of a coach, involving the entire team in the planning process to
 |
| ensure that:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Everybody’s knowledge is reflected in the plan
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| All team members estimate their own work
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Each team member signs up to take on a task, rather than being told exactly what to do
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>
 |
| <p>
 |
| You will find the tasks for the Management layer in the <strong>Project Management</strong> discipline, and the
 |
| corresponding work products under the Project Management domain.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| The Management layer is written in such a way that your organization can modify it to fit your development style, 
 |
| without necessarily affecting how you deal with the other layers (<a class="elementLink" href="./../../openup/customcategories/solution_layer_8AA9BF96.html" guid="_HEVvgEmcEdu0xduwSKie-w">Solution layer</a><a class="elementLinkWithUserText" href="./../../openup/customcategories/solution_layer_8AA9BF96.html" guid="_HEVvgEmcEdu0xduwSKie-w"> </a>and <a class="elementLink" href="./../../openup/customcategories/intent_layer_33C0EF8F.html" guid="_57_ZMEmbEdu0xduwSKie-w">Intent layer</a>).<br />
