The DSDM Agile Project Framework
DSDM is a structured agile project framework designed for dynamic environments. An overview of its principles, roles, phases, and real-world applications.
The Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) advocates that projects should do just “Enough Design Up Front” in order to understand and clarify the structure of the overall solution and to create an agile plan for delivery of the project. This is seen as the key differentiator for DSDM. In a DSDM project, analysis and design activity undertaken covers the full breadth of the project but deliberately avoids going into detail. This approach promotes agility in developing the required solution whilst avoiding the risk of “No Design Up Front” that makes many larger and more strongly governed organizations nervous.
