  <mainDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    OpenUP is an iterative process with &lt;a class=&quot;elementlinkwithusertext&quot; href=&quot;./../../publish.openup.base/guidances/concepts/core_principle_evolve_BFD9AEB4.html&quot; guid=&quot;_GXiogMvoEdqukPpotm3DYg&quot;>iterations&lt;/a> distributed throughout four phases: &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot; href=&quot;./../../practice.mgmt.risk_value_lifecycle.base/guidances/concepts/inception_phase_C4456871.html&quot; guid=&quot;_0hmKgBOMEduCNqgZdt_OaA&quot;>Inception&lt;/a>, &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot; href=&quot;./../../practice.mgmt.risk_value_lifecycle.base/guidances/concepts/elaboration_phase_BE880435.html&quot; guid=&quot;_2plxwBOMEduCNqgZdt_OaA&quot;>Elaboration&lt;/a>, &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot; href=&quot;./../../practice.mgmt.risk_value_lifecycle.base/guidances/concepts/construction_phase_873B6559.html&quot; guid=&quot;_48EKsBOMEduCNqgZdt_OaA&quot;>Construction&lt;/a>, and &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithUserText&quot; href=&quot;./../../practice.mgmt.risk_value_lifecycle.base/guidances/concepts/transition_phase_DD5986E5.html&quot; guid=&quot;__ca5UBOMEduCNqgZdt_OaA&quot;>Transition&lt;/a>.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Each phase may have as many iterations as needed (depending on the degree of novelty of the business domain, the&#xD;
    technology being used, architectural complexity, and project size, to name a few factors).&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    To offer a quick start for teams to plan their iterations, OpenUP provides work breakdown structure (WBS) templates for&#xD;
    each iteration, and a WBS template for an end-to-end process.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Iterations may have variable lengths, depending on project characteristics. One-month iterations are typically&#xD;
    recommended, because this timeframe provides:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        A reasonable amount of time for projects to deliver meaningful increments in functionality.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Early and frequent customer feedback.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Timely management of risks and issues during the course of the project.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    OpenUP is intended to offer process guidance to small, co-located teams.&#xD;
&lt;/p></mainDescription>
  <purpose>&lt;p>&#xD;
    This delivery process is intended to:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Promote collaboration (both internal and external to the team), to align interests and share understanding&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Help the team focus on the architecture early, to minimize risks and organize development&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Help the team balance competing priorities to maximize stakeholder value&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Help the team evolve the product to continuously obtain feedback and improve&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        &lt;div id=&quot;comment_text_7&quot;>&#xD;
            Allow project managers to track status based on goals&#xD;
        &lt;/div>&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Allow team members to understand how to perform their work to achieve project goals&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul></purpose>
