The Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) is a framework for developing computer-based systems, emphasizing iterative and incremental processes with active user involvement. It outlines principles for achieving business needs through frequent releases, while detailing roles, techniques, and the appropriate contexts for application. DSDM offers advantages like timely deliverables and user engagement but may be costly and less suitable for small or one-time projects.

3. Introduction of
DSDM
 The Dynamic Systems Development Method
(DSDM) is a framework of controls for the
development of Computer-based systems.
 A RAD approach to software development.
 Iterative and Incremental
 It is independent of any particular set of tools
and techniques.
 It can be applied to Information Systems
Development projects of any size.
 It is especially good for Information Systems
Development projects with very short

4. Principles of DSDM
1. Active user involvement.
2. Teams must be empowered to make their
own decisions.
3. Frequent releases more important than
maximizing quality.
4. Primary criteria for deliverables is meeting
business needs.
5. Iterative development is essential to reach
correct solution.
6. Any change during development can be
reversed.

5. Process
overview
 Feasibility study
 Business study
 Functional model iteration
 Design and build iteration
 Implementation

6. Process
lifecycle

7. Techniques of
DSDM
 Prototyping
 Testing
 Modeling
 Configuration Management
 Workshops
 Time boxing

8. Roles
 Executive Sponsor
 Ambassador User
 Project Manager
 Technical Coordinator
 Team Leader
 Developer
 Tester

9. Role
Details
 Executive Sponsor
 Commits funding
 Final say in decision making
 Visionary
 Maximum knowledge and view
 Supervising project direction

10. When to use
DSDM
 Inappropriate projects
 real time
 safety critical
 have well defined requirements
 have no fixed end date
 re-usable components
 Appropriate projects
 Prioritisable requirements
 fixed end date
 cleared defined users
 can be broken down

11. Advantage
s
 Users are highly involved in the development
of the system.
 In this model basic functionality is delivered
quickly, with more functionality being delivered
at frequent intervals.
 This method provides an easy access by
developers to end-users.
 In this kind of development approach projects
are delivered on time and within a specific
budget.

12. Disadvantage
s
 The first thing is DSDM is costly to
implement.
 As it requires users and developers both to
be trained to employ it effectively.
 It may not be suitable for small organizations
or one time projects.

13. Conclusi
on
 DSDM is a one of the software creating
model.
 Can use any type and any size of systems.
 Each method is described in terms of
process, roles, responsibilities, practices,
adoption and experiences.
 Enables a selection criteria for comparing
methods and pointing out their differences.
