Open Methodology Framework
http://goo.gl/Vw16T

The Open Methodology Framework is a collaborative environment for building methods to solve complex issues impacting business, technology, and society. The MIKE2.0_Methodology is the pilot project for the Open Methodology Framework. The Open Methodology Framework will be extended over time to include other projects. Another example of an open methodology, is open-sustainability which applies many of these concepts to the area of sustainable development.The best methodologies provide repeatable approaches on how to do things well based on established techniques. The Open Methodology Framework goes beyond the standards, techniques and best practices common to most methodologies with three objectives:

• To Encourage Collaborative User Engagement
• To Provide a Framework for Innovation
• To Balance Release Stability with Continuous Improvement

We believe that this approach provides a successful framework accomplishing things in a better and collaborative fashion. What’s more, this approach allows for concurrent focus on both method and detailed technology artifacts. The emphasis is on emerging areas in which current methods and technologies lack maturity.
