&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Each phase may have as many iterations as needed, depending on degree of novelty of the business domain, technology&#xD;
    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,&amp;nbsp;OpenUP/Basic provides&amp;nbsp;work breakdown structure&#xD;
    (WBS) templates for 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;
