White Paper Synopsis

Software development projects rely heavily on diagrammatic models to bridge semantic gaps between business and IT team members. This paper describes concisely how DSDM (a software development approach without prescribed modelling techniques) and the Unified Modelling Language (a modelling notation and model-driven technique without a prescribed process) complement each other.

Despite their different origins, DSDM and UML are strongly compatible. In order to use UML techniques within the DSDM framework, it is necessary to utilise the UML products in the appropriate phases of DSDM.

For developers with an OO background wishing to exploit the benefits of DSDM this White Paper provides guidance on the necessary adaptations to the DSDM lifecycle model.

DSDM relies on tools, techniques and people skills to ensure the semantic gap between user and developers is addressed. UML, when used and explained correctly, can improve DSDM projects by assisting them to close this gap effectively.

A large table details the UML components that could be introduced or evolved within each of the five DSDM phases. This covers Use Cases, Sequence Diagrams, Class Diagrams, State Transition Diagrams, Component Diagrams, Deployment Diagrams and Activity Diagrams and their potential use in each of the DSDM phases.
Guidance on DSDM techniques such as workshops to elicit Use Cases is provided in another section.

The additional and amended responsibilities for various DSDM roles with respect to UML are given in detail. The roles section also notes that it is important to make the distinction between the multi-disciplined team (as is typical of an OO project) and the team of multi-disciplined individuals (a feature of a DSDM project).

Case Study
A case study based on a real project is included with the White Paper and illustrates one way UML could be used in a development project.
