	Dynamic Systems Development Method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) is a framework based originally around Rapid Application Development (RAD), supported by its continuous user involvement in an iterative development and incremental approach which is responsive to changing requirements, in order to develop a system that meets the business needs on time and on budget.
		DSDM was developed in the United Kingdom in the 1990s by a consortium of vendors and experts in the field of Information System (IS) development, the DSDM Consortium, combining their best-practice experiences.
		DSDM Public Version 4.2 (www.dsdm.org) was made available for individuals to view and use in July 2006.

	A Human Being Is Not Equivalent to a Tool: Working with the Dynamic Systems Development Method > Respect and Confidence ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		DSDM is based on empowering the people who are the most capable (in terms of knowledge, experience and not in terms like "who is the boss") of making decisions at the right time in the project-life-cycle.
		The DSDM project contends with end-users from various departments outside of IT and is required to justify the loss of that talent from the day-to-day operations to the department management.
		Management inside and outside of a DSDM team must understand their new role with respect to the highly dynamic nature of this method and that this role is fundamental to the ultimate success of a DSDM project.

	Agile Software Development Management Resources \| VersionOne
		As a result, the DSDM Consortium was created and convened in 1994 with the goal of devising and promoting a common industry framework for rapid software delivery.
		DSDM is based on nine key principles that primarily revolve around business needs/value, active user involvement, empowered teams, frequent delivery, integrated testing, and stakeholder collaboration.
		DSDM specifically calls out “fitness for business purpose” as the primary criteria for delivery and acceptance of a system, focusing on the useful 80% of the system that can be deployed in 20% of the time.

	Kairon Ltd - Business Intelligence Consultants using Dynamic Systems Development Method - DSDM
		DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) is a vendor-independent RAD method providing a framework of controls for building and maintaining systems which meet tight time constraints and provide a recipe for repeatable RAD success.
		Baselining high-level requirements means "freezing" and agreeing the purpose and scope of the system at a level, which allows for detailed investigation of what the requirements imply.
		As the system is developed incrementally, it is also tested and reviewed by both developers and users incrementally to ensure that the development is moving forward not only in the right business direction but is technically sound.

	Consider DSDM as an XP alternative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) is a rapid development methodology for large-scale enterprise systems.
		However, the bigger the system, the harder it is to create and maintain it with nontraditional methods, due to the sheer volume of expertise to be shared between users and programmers and the increasing complexity of the business processes being captured in code.
		DSDM further assumes that users simply can’t define requirements for a perfect system until a new system is in place and in use for some time.

		Some developers felt that these models did not represent the dynamic nature of software development where priorities often change and user feedback is critical.
		Through experience, many development teams recognized that software projects are built in many shapes and sizes, and that heavyweight software methodologies do not fit in many cases, especially for smaller, more dynamic development efforts.
		Development teams began adopting the methodology that was the best fit for their organization and fed improvements back to evolve the methods over time.

		DSDM (the Dynamic Systems Development Method) has proved to be one of the most successful frameworks for "Agile" software development.
		DSDM is commonly used with a development shop's existing methods or to wrap around XP or other development methods to add scalability, control, and predictability all at a lower cost for the highest value solutions.
		DSDM is a method specifically for Software development, but it encapsulates a series of 'framework' concepts for process management.

		The emphasis at this stage was on the development of data fields and the associated screen handling.
		The main objective of this second phase of the development of the functional model was to provide the bulk of the essential functionality to the model.
		Sometimes neither the developers nor the end-users like to cross the boundary to get involved in some duties which they think is beyond their scope of expertise and knowledge.

	Rapid Applications Development ( RAD ) - a CompInfo Directory
		The Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) is a public domain Rapid Application Development method which has been developed through capturing the experience of a large consortium of vendor and user organisations.
		At the core of development is utilization, and although not a strict dictum, the use of the Spiral Model allows incremental and repetitive development.
		The use of Object-Oriented methods is encouraged to speed development and allow for reduced rework and possible reuse.

	Methodology (software engineering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some authors use method as a recipe and methodology as the studying of one or several methods.
		One could argue that a (software engineering) method is a recipe, a series of steps, to build software, where a methodology is a codified set of recommended practices, sometimes accompanied by training materials, formal educational programs, worksheets, and diagramming tools.
		This advice is useless for those who maintain legacy systems and must use legacy tools and must use older technologies and practice, due to circumstance.

		DSDM is a business focused method comprised of a set of 9 principles, a life cycle, a set of roles and responsibilities and a selection of best practice techniques.
		DSDM blends the need for a formal process with the needs of being pragmatic in todays world of hitting immovable deadlines whilst also responding to constant change.
		DSDM is ideally suited to companies who have little or no formal process and want to adopt something that is industry standard and available ‘off the peg’.

		While XP principles are independent of the languages in which software is developed, we can distinguish properties of programming languages that affect the agility of development.
		The patterns of the SCRUM development method are presented as an extension pattern language to the existing organizational pattern languages.
		If developers use the XP techniques in an unintended way or not at all, the XP process is likely to break down: The misused techniques affect the other XP techniques in a negative way, breaking the whole process.

		Ensure that the developed and deployed services are capable of delivering the expected QoS, as well as supporting a constantly changing business environment through refactoring of both the code and architecture.
		Instead of developing the entire SOA in a waterfall manner, it is even more important to rely on rapid delivery and frequent feedback, since you won't get the design right the first time.

		An experiment was undertaken to examine the cost effectiveness and customer-friendly attributes of the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) that was chosen as a candidate for evaluation as a customer-oriented process.
		In the realm of computer-based system products, customer satisfaction is dependent on how system development projects evolve to build operational product systems that satisfy perceived and actual customer needs and associated system requirements.
		In particular, customer satisfaction and confidence depends on the level of system assurance offered throughout the system development life cycle that the resulting product will be fit for its purpose.
