DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method)
DSDM
is another methodology designed to respond to
short delivery timescales and a limited amount of resources. Like Crystal, DSDM strives to shorten
communication lines between customer, developer, and business stakeholders in
order to provide a more efficient software process. By fixing the delivery
time (typically 6 months) and establishing the resource limits, it is becomes
easier to establish a development process that meets the users' "real
business requirements." According to the DSDM Consortium website, DSDM
is development framework that "focuses on the priorities of the business
and delivers what can safely be delivered within the time and cost
constraints of the project, in priority order determined by the business
needs and the objectives of the project." As indicated, DSDM is a
business-oriented approach that espouses Feasibility Study and Business Study
stages in its development lifecycle. Code and design is iterative in order to
receive maximum feedback from all stakeholders throughout the development
process.
