Background: DSDM & AgilePM
AgilePM®
Agile Project Management™ is based on DSDM Atern – DSDM - The oldest established Agile approach (1995)
– Owned by The DSDM Consortium (A not-for-profit organization)
– Established and proven integration between *DSDM®Atern® and **PRINCE2®
*DSDM and Atern are Registered Trade Marks of DSDL Limited in the United Kingdom and other countries
** PRINCE2® is a Registered Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce in the United Kingdom and other countries.
DSDM Atern
Agile Unified Process (AUP)
Scrum
Lean
Extreme Programming (XP)
Lightweight Approaches Fuller Approaches (but still agile)
What is Agile?
A style of working
– Flexibility
– Working closely with customer throughout
– Ensuring final solution actually meets business need
– Deferring decisions about detail as late as possible
People and Interactions over
Processes and Tools
Working Software over
Comprehensive
Documentation
Customer Collaboration over
Contract Negotiation
Responding to Change over
Following a Plan
Agile was born with The “Agile Manifesto” (2002)
Today we would say: Working solutions
DSDM Basics
Agile vs Traditional
DSDM Atern has a new approach
Examples
• Waterfall project
• IT V-model
• Specification-driven project
MoSCoW Prioritization

Timeboxes provide control
Quick Poll 2
New ways to add value
• Specification driven (BDUF = Big Design Up-Front)
• Development is monolithic (non-iterative)
• Deployment is near the end of the project
• Benefits arrive after the project
Traditional V-model

Project Lifecycle
Deploy
Agile prefers “Working Solutions”
Iterative development builds a value
stream Iterative development = converging towards a working solution
Early timeboxes may only deliver models or rough prototypes
Later timeboxes deliver working solutions with increasing functionality
Agile prefers “Working Solutions”
Incremental deployment delivers value
Early and incremental deployment means early benefits
Feedback from use speeds the convergence toward final working solution
Benefits
AgilePM: an enterprise tool

Roles and Responsibilities

Products
• Foundations = EDUF (Enough design up front)
• Flexibility: Not all products required for every
project
