[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: OpenUP solution looking for a problem

["Roman Smirak" <roman.smirak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In our case OpenUP perfectly matches to our current needs (and trend) within 
the company: get small, highly extensible, agile process merging best of 
RUP, Scrum, XP and Lean.

Thanks to the team for great job!

However, Tony is right about the tools - we have to configure and integrate 
several tools (Jira, SVN, MPP, MOSS, etc.); unfortunately Jazz is still 
quite immature - 1.0 release is still far far away.
