Overview
Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Rapid Application Development (RAD) and
incremental prototyping have been in use as development methods for many years. The fundamental purpose of RAD / DSDM is to produce working systems, which are delivered with high speed, high quality, and low cost. DSDM is one approach to building and maintaining computer systems, which combine effective use of tools and techniques, incremental prototyping, and tight project delivery timescales.
This course explores in detail the DSDM Life-cycle comprising five phases: Feasibility Study, Business Study, Functional Model Iteration, Design & Build Iteration and Implementation, plus Pre-project and Post-project phases.
The Nine Principles of the DSDM method, the Critical Success Factors and the DSDM Suitability Risk List are examined.
User Involvement is crucial, as is Team Empowerment, both are covered in detail together with practice in eliciting flexible requirements and the prioritisation of these, using the “MoSCoW” approach.
Timeboxing and the use of Facilitated Workshops, intrinsic features of DSDM, are considered extensively. Prototyping and the Prototyping Cycle are investigated in detail.
The Implementation of systems and Configuration Management in DSDM are examined as are the issues of Estimating, Quality Assurance and Testing
Professional Qualification
Delegates on this course are advised that in addition to serving towards certification as a DSDM
Practitioner, this course exempts candidates from taking the course, RAD and Prototyping Essentials.
Delegates can take an optional exam to attain an:
ISEB Business Systems Development Certificate
in
Rapid Application Development & Prototyping Essentials
and earn 2 credits towards achieving an ISEB Business Systems Development Diploma
