Explanation

DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) is built on timeboxing as a core discipline - the timebox (work period) is fixed and protected from disruption. When a high-priority feature request arrives mid-timebox, the correct DSDM response is to add it to the prioritized requirements list for the next work period, not to immediately displace current work. Shortening the current timebox, starting the work in parallel, or assigning it ad hoc all violate DSDM's principle of never compromising the integrity of the timebox. Changes are accommodated through structured prioritization, not interruption.
