Kent Beck referenced a book on DSDM in his article about XP: "XP Embrace Change"

Some things that DSDM has in common with XP:

• Short cycles (called time boxes)
• Simple design
• The system evolves throughout the process
• The system design evolves thoughout the process
• Don't anticipate on what you might need in future time boxes
• Tasks are given priorities. Do the most important task first, and the least important task last.
• Close customer-cooperation (though not as close as with XP)
