1 OpenUP Features & Benefits Sustainable agile software development Iterative and risk-driven Minimally sufficient for small, co-located teams Extendable to meet needs of larger teams and more complex environments Four integrated subprocess Collaboration and communication Management Intent Solution Described with roles, tasks, and activities Supporting guidance Checklists Templates Guidelines Concepts Examples Open source Overview OpenUP (Open Unified Process) is an open-source software development process framework that covers a broad set of development needs. OpenUP takes an agile approach to software development, providing only the most fundamental content needed to describe a simple set of work products, roles, tasks, and guidance. OpenUP is the result of the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF) project (see for more details). Description OpenUP is a common language, a common way of doing things that aligns how stakeholders and practitioners understand a project. It is an iterative software development process that is minimal, complete, and extensible. It is a process for small, co-located teams that value collaboration and stakeholder benefits over unnecessary deliverables and formality. OpenUP is characterized by four mutually supporting core principles: Collaborate to align interests and share understanding Balance competing priorities to maximize stakeholder value Focus on articulating the architecture Evolve continuously to obtain feedback and improve OpenUP is ready to use as-is; nothing needs to be added or removed. OpenUP also serves as a foundation on which process content can be added or tailored using the EPF Composer tool. OpenUP is the least amount of process for any project; but not all the process for every project. Chris Armstrong Price Free.
