The Agile and Dynamic side of DSDM
Agile methods have emerged for managing projects in the complex and real world of business where requirements are always evolving. They are most suitable for solutions that can be developed by dynamic multi-disciplinary teams. For example, if a system is to meet its goals, then it is vital that key users be involved early and throughout the project via testing and communication. Wherever
creativity and brainstorming is required, processes are defined
and interfaces validated, then agile solutions provide an approach
that puts people first and concentrates on doing the simplest things
that are Agile is hot: How does DSDM fit in the race towards agile and light project methods? Some of the players in this field are XP (eXtreme Programming), Adaptive Software Development, Crystal Family, Scrum, Feature Driven Development and Lean Development. Each approach brings some extra and very interesting concepts that are often adopted by the others. What are the advantages and pitfalls of each approach? Discussion and debate: Are there convergent opportunities between these approaches? Is agile the best way to achieve such goals as simplicity, adaptability, collaboration, technical excellence and customer satisfaction? For what kind of projects are these methods suitable? Are agile and dynamic methods only suitable for ‘small’ projects? Do you have to be an expert to use an agile methodology? Is there too much room for creativity and adaptability in such an approach? What are the cultural issues associated with the take-up of agile methods? What are the potential problems to look out for when introducing these new methods? Are clients and suppliers ready for agile and dynamic methods? To what extent are companies using agile methods already? What developments will we see in software development practices over the next two years?
