&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Each phase may have as many iterations as needed (depending on the degree of novelty of the business domain, the&#xD;
    technology being used, architectural complexity, and project size, to name a few factors).&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    To offer a quick start for teams to plan their iterations, OpenUP provides work breakdown structure (WBS) templates for&#xD;
    each iteration, and a WBS template for an end-to-end process.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Iterations may have variable lengths, depending on project characteristics. One-month iterations are typically&#xD;
    recommended, because this timeframe provides:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        A reasonable amount of time for projects to deliver meaningful increments in functionality.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Early and frequent customer feedback.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Timely management of risks and issues during the course of the project.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    OpenUP is intended to offer process guidance to small, co-located teams.&#xD;

        Help the team balance competing priorities to maximize stakeholder value&#xD;
