| OpenUP is an iterative process with <a class="elementlinkwithusertext"
 |
| href="./../../openup/guidances/concepts/core_principle_evolve.html" guid="_GXiogMvoEdqukPpotm3DYg">iterations</a>
 |
| distributed throughout four <a class="elementLinkWithUserText"

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