The OpenUP 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 - Collaborate to align interests and share
understanding - Balance competing priorities to maximize
stakeholder value - Focus on the architecture early to minimize
risks and organize development - Evolve to continuously obtain
feedback and improve
