1. Introduction

The responsitory contains the standard template documents used by the digital communications team at the University of St Andrews in controlling DSDM agile projects.

These documents are based on standard templates that were donated by RADTAC under license to the DSDM Consortium, now Agile Business Consortium. They were adapted by the digital communications team for use on the external website programme. A lot of descriptive text used within the documents has been taken from the DSDM Atern handbook 2008.

Document numbering used in the lists below is based on those used in Appendix C of the DSDM Atern handbook 2008.
