                    What is the DSDM Stakeholder Plugin for OpenUP?&#xD;
                &lt;/h2>&#xD;
                &lt;p>&#xD;
                    This plugin adds four business roles from the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) to the Open&#xD;
                    Unified Process (OpenUP).&#xD;
                &lt;/p>&#xD;

                        guid=&quot;_avOA0FkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA&quot;>Advisor User&lt;/a>&#xD;
                    &lt;/li>&#xD;
                    &lt;li>&#xD;
                        &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../dsdm_openup/roles/ambassador_user.html&quot;&#xD;
                        guid=&quot;_ctbZ8FkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA&quot;>Ambassador User&lt;/a>&#xD;
                    &lt;/li>&#xD;
                    &lt;li>&#xD;
                        &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../dsdm_openup/roles/exec_sponsor.html&quot;&#xD;
                        guid=&quot;_fULZwFkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA&quot;>Executive Sponsor&lt;/a>&#xD;
                    &lt;/li>&#xD;
                    &lt;li>&#xD;
                        &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot; href=&quot;./../../dsdm_openup/roles/visionary.html&quot;&#xD;
                        guid=&quot;_hQJ-QFkVEdul8L-IGeA7TA&quot;>Visionary&lt;/a>&#xD;
                    &lt;/li>&#xD;
                &lt;/ul>&#xD;
                &lt;p>&#xD;
                    These four roles expand on the Stakeholder role included in OpenUP.&amp;nbsp;Our objective is to provide&#xD;
                    additional resources to support closer business involvement with project teams.&#xD;
                &lt;/p>&#xD;
            &lt;/td>&#xD;
        &lt;/tr>&#xD;
    &lt;/tbody>&#xD;
&lt;/table>&#xD;

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