OpenUP and the Eclipse Process Framework

My journeys lately have been leading me down the EPF and OpenUP road. I wanted to put up a few links to some of the information that is available out there. That way I can just refer to this list and update it as I do future blogs related to the OpenUP and Eclipse Process Framework.

OpenUP Overview
OpenUP is a lean Unified Process that applies iterative and incremental approaches within a structured lifecycle. OpenUP embraces a pragmatic, agile philosophy that focuses on the collaborative nature of software development. It is a tools-agnostic, low-ceremony process that can be extended to address a broad variety of project types. (This description is taken from this article, which is a great overview of the OpenUP.)

Eclipse Process Framework
The Eclipse Process Framework aims at producing a customizable software process engineering framework.
