Introduction to OpenUP/Basic
Main Description

The OpenUP/Basic is an iterative software development process that is minimal, complete, and extensible.

  • The process is minimal in that only fundamental content is included
  • The process is complete in that it can be manifested as an entire process to build a system
  • The process is extensible in that it can be used as a foundation on which process content can be added or tailored as needed  

OpenUP/Basic takes an agile approach to development valuing team collaboration and benefits to the stakeholders over unproductive deliverables and formality. The process provides this progressive approach to building systems within a proven, structured lifecycle.
