News: LShift Take DSDM Atern Course

LShift first to take DSDM Atern practitioner course and examination.

LShift were the first software development company to attend the new DSDM Atern practitioner course since its launch on Monday 23 April.

Atern is the new version of DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Methodology), an agile project delivery framework that delivers the right business solution at the right time. Atern focuses on strategic goals and incremental delivery of real business benefits while keeping control of cost, risk and quality. High levels of agility are achieved through self-directive, empowered teams working together in a supportive and collaborative manner.

Atern replaced DSDM Version 4.2 on Monday 23 April 2007. As DSDM is LShift's preferred development methodology, the team were eager to catch up on new developments and incorporate them into current practice. Six Shiftees attended the DSDM Atern Practitioner course during the launch week and then succesfully sat the examination. All six Shiftees passed and are now looking forward to working with the new framework in practice.
