This Guideline examines the Framework for Business-Centred Development (DSDM V.4) that can be put in place by an organisation for managing and enabling systems development using the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM). In this context, DSDM is defined as, the production of effective, working systems that are delivered with high speed and high quality, at low cost combining the effective use of tools and techniques with incremental prototyping and tightly managed timescales

Since its first introduction in January 1995, DSDM has been used on all types of system development projects, ranging in size from projects where one developer works for a few weeks to multi-million pound projects in every conceivable business and technical environment.
