The developer just finished their feature. Now is the time to test — not three weeks from now when the release is ready. The code is fresh. The design decisions are still in their head. One hour of fixes today is worth three days of debugging later.
OpenUP answers a question many teams ask: how do you get RUP's structured rigor without its weight? A minimalist, practical open-source iterative framework for teams wanting more structure than Scrum without RUP's burden.
ASD doesn't seek to reduce uncertainty through more planning. It embraces it. Speculate, collaborate, learn: three words that describe a philosophy radically different from predictive methods.
