Between which phases of the DSDM process takes Evolutionary Development place?

Question

Options

• ABetween Feasibility and Foundation
• BBetween Deployment and Post Project
• CBetween Pre-Project and Feasibility
• DBetween Foundations and Deployment

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  8% (2)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  85% (22)

Explanation

Option D is correct because in the DSDM framework, the phases flow in this order: Pre-Project → Feasibility → Foundations → Evolutionary Development → Deployment → Post-Project. Evolutionary Development is where iterative prototyping and incremental builds occur - it sits after the project's foundations are established and before the solution is deployed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Feasibility and Foundation): This gap is where Foundations itself begins, not where iterative development happens.
• B (Deployment and Post-Project): By Deployment the product is already being released; development is complete at this stage.
• C (Pre-Project and Feasibility): This is the very start of the lifecycle - nothing has been assessed yet, let alone built.

Memory tip: Think of the acronym "PFF-ED-DP" - Pre-project, Feasibility, Foundations, Evolutionary Development, Deployment, Post-project. The "ED" in the middle reminds you that Evolutionary Development is the core building phase sandwiched between setup (Foundations) and release (Deployment).
