 |
| DSDM aims not only to prevent failure but to bring success, by delivering systems that:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| satisfy the real requirements of business, in order of importance
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| support the way the business needs to work
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| are delivered on time and within budget
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| are delivered quickly, and yet are robust and right (e.g. the right level of quality, the right functionality, the
 |
| right performance, security and maintainability).
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Solutions built with DSDM&nbsp;do not focus purely on speed&nbsp;at the expense of quality. DSDM focuses on the
 |
| priorities of the business and delivers what can safely be delivered within the time and cost constraints of the
 |
| project, in priority order determined by the business needs and the objectives of the project.<br />

 |
| <p>
 |
| Using an iterative process based on prototyping, DSDM involves the system's end-users throughout the project lifecycle.
 |
| This has many benefits, for example:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| the users are more likely to claim ownership of the system
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| the risk of building the wrong system is greatly reduced
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| the final system is more likely to meet the users' real business requirements
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| the users will be better trained, since their representatives will define and co-ordinate the training required
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| implementation is more likely to go smoothly, because of the co-operation of all parties concerned throughout
 |
| development.
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul></mainDescription> |
