    OpenUP is based on four mutually supporting core principles.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;h5 style=&quot;MARGIN: 12pt 0in 3pt&quot;>&#xD;
    Balance competing priorities to maximize stakeholder value&#xD;
&lt;/h5>&#xD;
&lt;blockquote dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;>&#xD;
    &lt;p>&#xD;
        Promote practices that allow project participants and stakeholders to develop a solution that maximizes stakeholder&#xD;
        benefits, and is compliant with constraints placed on the project.&lt;br />&#xD;

    &lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;/blockquote>&#xD;
&lt;h5 style=&quot;MARGIN: 12pt 0in 3pt&quot;>&#xD;
    Collaborate to align interests and share understanding&#xD;

    &lt;p>&#xD;
        Promote practices that foster a healthy team environment, enable collaboration and develop a shared understanding&#xD;
        of the project.&lt;br />&#xD;

    &lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;/blockquote>&#xD;
&lt;h5 style=&quot;MARGIN: 12pt 0in 3pt&quot;>&#xD;
    Focus on the architecture early to minimize risks and organize development&#xD;
&lt;/h5>&#xD;

        incremental value to them.&lt;br />&#xD;
