purpose, together with a number of defined products intended to support the evolution of the solution and the
smooth running of the project.The DSDM Agile Project FrameVvOrk is designed to work effectively with projects of
varying size and complexity.Through the tailoring of its various products, DSDM ensures control is demonstrated
to a level of formality appropriate to the organisation, thereby running a project so that all the benefrts of Agile are
achieved without compromising effective project governance.
