What is OpenUP?&#xD;
&lt;/h3>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
OpenUP is a lean Unified Process that applies iterative and incremental approaches within a structured lifecycle.&#xD;
OpenUP embraces a pragmatic, agile philosophy that focuses on the collaborative nature of software development. It is a&#xD;
tools-agnostic, low-ceremony process that can be extended to address a broad variety of project types.&#xD;

&lt;p>&#xD;
&lt;em>OpenUP layers: micro-increments, iteration lifecycle and project lifecycle&lt;/em>&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
Personal effort on an OpenUP project is organized in &lt;strong>micro-increments&lt;/strong>. These represent short units of&#xD;
work that produce a steady, measurable pace of project progress (typically measured in hours or a few days). The&#xD;
process applies intensive collaboration as the system is incrementally developed by a committed, self-organized team.&#xD;
These micro-increments provide an extremely short feedback loop that drives adaptive decisions within each iteration.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
OpenUP divides the project into iterations: planned, time-boxed intervals typically measured in weeks. Iterations focus&#xD;
the team on delivering incremental value to stakeholders in a predictable manner. The iteration plan defines what&#xD;
should be delivered within the iteration, and the result is a demo-able or shippable build. OpenUP teams self-organize&#xD;
around how to accomplish iteration objectives and commit to delivering the results. They do that by defining and&#xD;
&quot;pulling&quot; fine-grained tasks from a work items list. OpenUP applies an &lt;strong>iteration lifecycle&lt;/strong> that&#xD;
structures how micro-increments are applied to deliver stable, cohesive builds of the system that incrementally&#xD;
progresses towards the iteration objectives.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
OpenUP structures the &lt;strong>project lifecycle&lt;/strong> into four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and&#xD;
Transition. The project lifecycle provides stakeholders and team members with visibility and decision points throughout&#xD;
the project. This enables effective oversight, and allows you to make &quot;go or no-go&quot; decisions at appropriate times. A&#xD;
project plan defines the lifecycle, and the end result is a released application.&#xD;
&lt;/p></mainDescription>
<keyConsiderations>&lt;p>&#xD;
Use OpenUP as-is when you have a small, co-located team.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
Modify OpenUP for small teams with different circumstances (for instance, a novel project or geographically distributed&#xD;
team members). See &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup/guidances/supportingmaterials/resources_for_modifying_methods_7663A1A6.html&quot; guid=&quot;_omneEMX4EduywMSzPTUUwA&quot;>Supporting Material: Resources for Modifying Methods&lt;/a> for more information on&#xD;
how to customize OpenUP.&#xD;
