The Methodology

The DSDM Agile Project Framework, which is the basis for the AgilePM program, is one of the first-generation Agile frameworks, from the same era as XP, Crystal, and Scrum. People involved in creating the DSDM Agile Project Framework were also among those who created the Agile Manifesto. As a result, the DSDM’s perspective has been reflected in the manifesto, and especially the principles behind the Agile Manifesto.

A significant part of this wiki is about the DSDM Agile Project Framework.
