Synopsis

The authors, Dorothy and Ian Tudor of TCC, have created a new version of the DSDM Student Workbook (2002) to reflect the continuing development of the approach. This 2010 edition focuses on the very latest thinking in DSDM. Endorsed by the DSDM Consortium, the new DSDM Atern Student Workbook provides a comprehensive guide to the Atern method, in an accessible format, ideal for those wishing to learn about the approach and how to maximise the benefits of its application. With the recent and rapid rise in interest in Agile approaches, many organisations are now moving towards agile project delivery as they begin to realise the benefits of this approach. The DSDM Atern Student Workbook details a clear plan of action for introducing DSDM Atern into an organisation. This workbook takes the reader through the main elements of DSDM Atern, from the overall principles and framework through to the project management and people-related issues including the roles, skills, responsibilities, and levels of authority for all project personnel. The book also explains in a clear way, the important techniques of MoSCoW prioritisation, timeboxing, prototyping, workshops, and modelling as used within DSDM Atern. For students, the inclusion of Foundation questions on each area will provide useful revision material. Contents: Foreword Preface 1. Approach and Principles 2. Modelling 3.
