7. Related Methods and Quality
7.1 Capability Maturity Model and ISO 9001
While DSDM doesn’t guarantee to enhance a companies CMM level, introducing
DSDM will help CMM level 1 organizations to achieve at least level 2, since a
DSDM implementation will result in a repeatable project structure. The same is true
for ISO 9001 in its most basic process maturity model, however ISO 9001 provides
far more complex process quality then CMM, but organizations certified for ISO
9001-3 can rely on the DSDM manual or other sources to learn how DSDM and ISO
9001 can coexists. [BSI03]
7.2 Extreme Programming
While Extreme Programming has been the first well known methodology to handle
agile software process, it is perfectly suitable to integrate into a DSDM
implementation, since many concepts of DSDM can improve XP with a robust
requirements and project management mechanism. [CALD02]
