 |
| Typical Phase by Phase Activities
 |
| </h3>
 |
| <h4>
 |
| Pre-Project
 |
| </h4>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Although DSDM has a formal pre-project phase, OpenUP does not. Nevertheless, there are important activities that need
 |
| to be undertaken before a project can be started. The Executive Sponsor is key in ensuring that these are completed.
 |
| You can use this extract from DSDM as a form of checklist for starting Inception.

 |
| <li>
