Dsdm Business Focused Development

"Solving hard problems is fun - solving them with other people even more so." ~ Jennifer Stapleton DSDM (the Dynamic Systems Development Method) has proved to be one of the most successful frameworks for "Agile" software development. The new edition of this classic introduction to DSDM has been fully updated to reflect recent changes in the framework and 'best practice' in its application. Readers of this book will learn: - how DSDM can speed up project delivery - why agile methods like DSDM help to deliver business benefits more rapidly - how to get users involved in delivering a usable solution - how to deliver something that works in a short timescale. The Second Edition features: - a wide variety of new case studies showing DSDM in practice in both large and small organizations - new guidelines for using DSDM in conjunction with other methods and notations like XP and UML - discussion of how new developments in DSDM relate to the 'Agile Manifesto' (included here in an appendix) The DSDM Consortium is a not for profit membership organization dedicated to evolving the DSDM framework. Its members share knowledge and experience and help to write all DSDM publications.
