| What is the DSDM Stakeholder Plugin for OpenUP?
 |
| </h2>
 |
| <p>
 |
| This plugin adds four business roles from the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) to the Open
 |
| Unified Process (OpenUP).
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| <a class="elementLink" href="./../../dsdm_openup/roles/advisor_user.html"
 |
| guid="_avOA0FkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA">Advisor User</a>
 |

 |
| <li>
 |
| <a class="elementLink" href="./../../dsdm_openup/roles/ambassador_user.html"
 |
| guid="_ctbZ8FkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA">Ambassador User</a>
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| <a class="elementLink" href="./../../dsdm_openup/roles/exec_sponsor.html"
 |
| guid="_fULZwFkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA">Executive Sponsor</a>

 |
| guid="_hQJ-QFkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA">Visionary</a>
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>
 |
| <p>
 |
| These four roles expand on the Stakeholder role included in OpenUP.&nbsp;Our objective is to provide
 |
| additional resources to support closer business involvement with project teams.

 |
| </h2>
 |
| <p>
 |
| There is increasing pressure on organisations to deliver working systems to business in ever shorter timescales. <b>The
 |
| Framework For Business Centered Development</b> (version 4 of DSDM) describes an iterative and incremental approach to
 |
| developing software that is clearly driven by and responsive to the changing needs of the business. The concept of
 |
| customer collaboration underpins the DSDM way of working. The iterative DSDM development process is designed
 |
| specifically to support a number of collaborative techniques to ensure that a project delivers exactly what is needed
 |
| within the normal constraints of time, budget and resources. The clear definition of a variety of customer roles forms
 |
| part of DSDM and is considered critical to the success of the approach.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| Like the Eclipse Foundation, the DSDM Consortium is keen to promote best practice in software development in general
 |
| and to this end is contributing the definition of its customer roles to the OpenUP approach.
 |
| </p>
 |
| <p>
 |
| As an Agile process, DSDM promotes active user involvement within the project team and defines specific roles that
 |
| enable this. The DSDM Plugin for OpenUP adds these roles to the OpenUP base, increasing the team's capability for
 |
| collaborative software development.
