DSDM is a project delivery framework to aid the development and delivery of business solutions to tight timescales and set budgets. The DSDM Consortium is a not-for-profit member based organisation, which administers the licensing of organisations that are using the DSDM Framework. Only Full Members are licensed to use the Framework. Every member of the Consortium is encouraged to contribute to the continued development of the framework. The mission of the Consortium is to continuously evolve and promote the DSDM Framework. We aim to translate this evolution into products and services that our members can use to deliver solutions that better meet their business needs.

In traditional approaches the focus is on satisfying the contents of a requirements document and conforming to previous deliverables, even though the requirements are often inaccurate, the previous deliverables may be flawed and the business needs may have changed since the start of the project. In addition, time and resources are often allowed to vary during development. In DSDM, the exact opposite is true, time is fixed for the life of a project, and resources are fixed as far as possible. This means that the requirements that will be satisfied are allowed to change.
