A collaborative and co-operative approach between all stakeholders is essential
Description
Main DescriptionThe nature of DSDM projects means that low-level requirements are not necessarily fixed when the developers are originally approached to carry out the work. Hence the short-term direction that a project takes must be quickly decided without recourse to restrictive change control procedures. The stakeholders include not only the business and development staff within the project, but also other staff such as Service Delivery or resource managers.

When development is procured from an external supplier, both the vendor and the purchaser organisations should aim for as efficient a process as possible while allowing for flexibility during both the pre-contract phase and when the contracted work is carried out.
