Management
The Management sub-process deals with management of the project, including project planning, iteration planning, day-to-day management of the work within the iteration, and iteration assessments.

Main Description

It is important to note that the Management sub-process is built on the foundational Collaboration and Communication layer to reflect the collaborative nature of management of an OpenUP project. The manager should not plan an iteration in isolation, and then tell the team members their assignments. Instead, the manager should be more of a coach, involving the entire team in the planning process to ensure that:

  • Everybody’s knowledge is reflected in the plan
  • All team members estimate their own work
  • Each team member signs up to take on a task, rather than being told exactly what to do.

You will find the tasks for the Management sub-process in the Project Management discipline and the corresponding work products under Project Management domain.

The Management sub-process is written in such a way that your organization can modify it to fit your style of development, without necessarily affecting how you deal with the other sub-processes of Solution and Intent.
