DSDM Atern - Practices
• Iterative Development
• MoSCoW Prioritisation
• Timeboxing
• Facilitated workshops
• Modelling
DSDM defines 5 core techniques . . .
![Page 23: Agile solution delivery - · PDF fileAgile solution delivery ... • Never ending cyclical process • No control ... • Prevents scope creep. Collaborative Consulting Ltd tel:](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011800/5aaec29e7f8b9a6b308c7779/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Iterative Development
• Allows evolution from high level concepts to delivered product
• Three perspectives– Functional
– Usability
– Non functional
• Development cycles for Exploration and Engineering
![Page 24: Agile solution delivery - · PDF fileAgile solution delivery ... • Never ending cyclical process • No control ... • Prevents scope creep. Collaborative Consulting Ltd tel:](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022011800/5aaec29e7f8b9a6b308c7779/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

MoSCoW Prioritisation
• Must Have – Requirements fundamental to solution
– Defines Minimum Usable Subset – basic working solution
• Should Have – Requirements important to system
– Measured in terms of value or impact
• Could Have– Can do without in the short term
• Won’t have this time– Will wait till later

Timeboxing
• Achieves defined objectives by a fixed deadline
• Leverages MoSCoW
• Maintains focus on on-time delivery – every time
• Manages dependencies within a project
• Enables regular assessment of real progress
• Prevents scope creep
