OpenUP
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Open Unified Process (OpenUP) is a part of the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF), an open source process framework developed within the Eclipse open source organization. It provides best practices from a variety of software development thought leaders and the broader software development community that cover a diverse set of perspectives and development needs.
OpenUP preserves the essential characteristics of RUP / Unified Process, which includes iterative development, use-cases and scenarios driving development, risk management, and architecture-centric approach.
The most agile and lightweight form of OpenUP, OpenUP/Basic, targets smaller and collocated teams interested in agile and iterative development. Small projects constitute teams of 3 to 6 people and involve 3 to 6 months of development effort.
