2	The Research Sponsor and the Research Visionary demonstrate clear and proactive ownership of the project.
3	The research vision driving the project is clearly stated and understood by all members of the project team
4	All project participants understand and accept that on-time delivery of an acceptable solution is the primary measure of success for the project
5	The requirements can be prioritised and there is confidence that cost and time commitments can be met by flexing the scope of what's delivered.
6	All members of the project team accept that requirements should only be defined at a high level in the early phases of the project and that detail will emerge as development progresses.
7	All members of the project team accept that change in requirements is inevitable and that it is only by embracing change that the right solution will be delivered.
8	The Research Sponsor and Research Visionary understand that active intellectual involvement is essential and have the willingness and authority to commit appropriate research resources to the project.
9	It is possible for members of the Solution Development Team to work collaboratively throughout the project.
10	Empowerment of all members of the Solution Development Team is appropriate and sufficient to support the day-to-day decision-making needed to rapidly evolve the solution in short, focussed timeboxes

12	The Solution Development team has the appropriate collective knowledge and skills (soft skills and technical skills) to collaboratively evolve an optimal research solution.
13	Solution Development Team members are allocated to the project at an appropriate and consistent level sufficient to fully support the DSDM timeboxing practice
14	Tools and collaborative working practices within the Solution Development Team are sufficient to allow effective Iterative Development of the solution.
15	All necessary review and testing activity is fully integrated within the Iterative Development practice.
16	Project progress is measured primarily through the incremental, demonstrable delivery of research value.
17	There are no mandatory standards or other constraints in place that will prevent the application of the DSDM Philosophy and Practices on this project.
