Development Methodology
absolute believes that software development projects should be controlled, managed, progressed and developed utilising a proven and sound methodology and have therefore adopted DSDM (Dynamic Systems Design Methodology). This methodology has been developed by a consortium of experienced systems designers with vast expertise in the arena of software development utilising rapid application development principles and procedures.
The nine principles of DSDM are defined as follows:-
-
Active user involvement is imperative
-
Focus on frequent delivery of products
-
Iterative and incremental development
-
Requirements baselined at a high level
-
Teams to be empowered
-
Fitness of business purpose
-
Changes made during development to be reversible
-
Integrated testing throughout the life-cycle
-
Collaborative and co-operative approach
