This diploma also pursues other objectives like to find and characterize tools suitable for administration and customization of the methodology. The result if this customization and localization is a methodology suitable for small software projects called MMSP.

The main objective of this diploma is to localize and customize OpenUP methodology for the projects which are running within the courses of software engineering at the University of Economics in Prague. That is why it offers the possibility to extend or customize its content for specific requirements. OpenUP covers the most important factors necessary to focus on during software development, but on the other hand it also respects the fact that each project is unique. One of these methodologies is OpenUP, which combines both agile and rigorous principles. Apart from traditional rigorous methodologies such as Rational Unified Process (RUP), there are also agile methodologies, which are characterized by positive approach to change and iterative development with very short iterations. These days there are a lot of methodologies which can be used for IS/ICT implementation projects.
