DSDM Consortium

7. • Phase 1 – The Pre-project
• Phase 2 – The Project life-cycle
– Stage 1: Study (Feasibility and Business)
– Stage 2: Functional Model Iteration
– Stage 3: System Design and Build Iteration
– Stage 4: Implementation
• Phase 3 – The Post-project
DSDM 4.2

8. • Timeboxing
• MoSCoW
• Prototyping
• Testing
• Workshop
• Modeling
• Configuration Management
