Process Basics

What forms the basis?

The process consists of five foundation practices, and three supporting practices:

These practices have been used in 1000s of projects and proved to be very successful.

Each practice is separately defined and by keeping them separate, we can simplify the process description dramatically. Each practice can be developed, adopted and applied independently from the other practices. This is a significant difference to the Unified Process which is developed with all its practices tightly integrated.
