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

    using DSDM&lt;/a>&#xD;
&lt;/h4>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Using an iterative process based on prototyping, DSDM involves the system's end-users throughout the project lifecycle.&#xD;
    This has many benefits, for example:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        the users are more likely to claim ownership of the system&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        the risk of building the wrong system is greatly reduced&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        the final system is more likely to meet the users' real business requirements&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        the users will be better trained, since their representatives will define and co-ordinate the training required&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        implementation is more likely to go smoothly, because of the co-operation of all parties concerned throughout&#xD;
        development.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul></mainDescription>
