Delivery Process: OpenUP Lifecycle with DSDM Stakeholder Plugin |  |
This delivery process defines a software development process that supports the core principles of OpenUP. It is designed to support small co-located teams with active user involvement in their daily activities.

Purpose
The purposes of this delivery process are to: Offer process guidance for small-scale projects Allow project managers to create project plans based on the proposed work breakdown structures Allow project managers to track status based on goals Allow team members to understand how to perform their work to achieve project goals Provide a complete, end-to-end delivery process that serves as an example for defining alternative delivery processes

Description
OpenUP/Basic is an iterative process with iterations distributed throughout four phases: Inception, Elaboration, Construction, and Transition. Each phase may have as many iterations as needed, depending on degree of novelty of the business domain, technology being used, architectural complexity, and project size, to name a few factors. To offer a quick start for teams to plan their iterations, OpenUP/Basic provides work breakdown structure (WBS) templates for each iteration and a WBS template for an end-to-end process. Iterations may have variable lengths, depending on project characteristics. One-month iterations are typically recommended, because this timeframe provides: A reasonable amount of time for projects to deliver meaningful increments in functionality Early and frequent customer feedback Timely management of risks and issues during the course of the project OpenUP/Basic is intended to offer process guidance to small projects: 3 to 6 people on the team 3 to 6 months of work
