3.3.1 Pre-Project:
The Pre-Project phase includes project suggestion and selection of a proposed project
candidate. The pre-project determines if a project should be realized at all.
3.3.2 Feasibility Study
The normal considerations in a Feasibility Study are a definition of the problem to be
addressed, assessments of the likely costs and technical feasibility of delivering a
computer system to solve the business problem.
3.3.3 Business Study
Having decided in the Feasibility Study that DSDM is an appropriate method
framework, the Business Study provides the basis for all subsequent work. Like the
Feasibility Study, it is as short as possible (the duration measured in weeks rather
than months), while achieving sufficient understanding und the requirements.
3.3.4 Functional Model Iteration (FMI)
The focus of Functional Model Iteration is on refining the business-based aspects of
the computer system, i.e. building on the high-level processing and information
requirements identified during the Business Study. A given project may have several
FMI type timeboxes.
Pre-Project Post-Project
3.3.5 Design & Build Iteration (DBI)
The Design and Build Iteration is where the computer system is engineered to a
sufficiently high standard to be safely placed in the hands of the users. A given
project may have several DBI type timeboxes.
3.3.6 Implementation
The Implementation phase covers the cutover from the development environment to
the operational environment.
3.3.7 Post-Project
Post-project tasks include measurements on how the deployed system is performing
and if any further enhancements are required. Usually these measures take place
about 6 month after the project technically finished.
