Agile Project Management, Integrating DSDM Atern into an existing PRINCE2® Environment

by Keith Richards

Since the turn of the century there has been a dramatic rise in
projects using ‘agile’ techniques and approaches. This started in
the IT sector but is now seen throughout the project management arena. Many organizations are employing agile
disciplines at program level, as well as at ‘the coal face’, as
the popularity of this approach continues to grow.

The purpose of this White Paper is to describe the benefits of
running PRINCE2® in tandem with DSDM in order to help an
organization to quickly establish or enable its own agile capability.

Importantly, it also outlines how this combination is one of the
best and safest ways to implement an agile approach, which
many organizations fail to do correctly.

Primarily, this White Paper has been written for people who are currently working in a PRINCE2 environment and would like the option of executing some or all of their projects in a more agile way. However, the paper will also be of benefit to any organization which is looking to replace or upgrade its own
project management approach or ‘body of knowledge’ (e.g.
PMBOK®), and which regards this topic as current best practice.

The White Paper covers the rationale for this combination, the
mechanics of combining PRINCE2 and DSDM, and a summary
of the most significant concepts to get right.
