Sarah is studying Agile Project Management. The first chapter discusses the Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM) and the Agile Business Consortium. DSDM is a framework for effective fast Agile project management and delivery. It has been applied to both small software developments and full-scale business process change. It provides a mature approach to Agile in a complex corporate world. It was created by a large number of project practitioners who wanted to build quality into "Rapid Application Development" (RAD). They initially only availed it to members of the consortium but later allowed it to be adopted universally for free.

The DSDM Agile Project Framework is an evolution of the previous version of DSDM, which provides information to use DSDM effectively and understand its practical application. Agile PF retains DSDM project-focused principles together with its roles that are suited to a corporate project environment. The most significant change in the DSDM process has been in the area of the product associated with the process.
In the past, many projects with a traditional approach failed either due to the large size, poor communication or business engagement, and the measurement of progression in percentages completed instead of delivery of business value.

To counter these problems, RAD was applied to incrementally build software applications based on discussions, demonstrations, and short feedback loops. This provided quick fixes but often its application adversely affected the quality of the solutions. DSDM was introduced to fix the problems of the traditional approach and RAD by combining the best parts of both approaches.

DSDM has been at the forefront of scalable Agile projects and solution delivery. It has also been used on non-IT solutions and is often referred to as Mature Agile. As a founding member of Agile Alliances, DSDM has been the heart of Agile since 2001. DSDM encourages detail to emerge over time, hence the project can move forward, with a general understanding of the high likelihood that business requirements will change over time. This avoids the excessive effort spent in the traditional approach on detailed upfront work. Solutions from DSDM address the current and imminent needs of the business rather than the traditional approach of attacking a
