Presentation
A few years ago I project managed the development of a website for Cardiff University using DSDM.
Despite not following every aspect of the framework, we managed to deliver a great product, on time, and with a lot of fun along the way.
Join me on the journey of how the website was developed, looking at how DSDM helped us achieve our goal, and a realistic view on what worked well and what could have been improved if we had the chance again, focusing on the 8 principles that underpin DSDM.
