The DSDM Agile Project Framework is an iterative and incremental approach that embraces principles of Agile development, including continuous user/customer involvement.

Is DSDM in Agile methodology?

DSDM is an Agile method that focuses on the full project lifecycle, DSDM (formally known as Dynamic System Development Method) was created in 1994, after project managers using RAD (Rapid Application Development) sought more governance and discipline to this new iterative way of working.

How is DSDM different from RAD?

Not only is DSDM strict about deadlines and budget, it also tends to have a firm order of events: Pre-Project phase, Project Life-Cycle phase, and Post-Project phase. RAD software development methods are more about free-form work, letting creativity and independence reign even at the cost of resource depletion.
