DSDM assigns clear roles and responsibilities to each person in a project. The color scheme in the DSDM team model represents different aspects.

One of the roles categories is the Project Level Roles which includes the business sponsor, business visionary, technical coordinator, project manager, and business analyst.

Another category is Solution Development Team Roles. These are the business ambassador, solution development, solution tester, business analyst, and team leader.

Next is Supporting Roles including the business adviser, technical adviser, workshop facilitator, and DSDM coach. They provide assistance and guidance to the project on an ad-hoc basis.

About the different roles; firstly the Business Sponsor role is the most senior project-level business role. This role is specifically responsible for the business case and the project budget throughout.

The Business Visionary is also a senior role that should be held by a singular individual to avoid confusion and misdirection.

The Technical Coordinator ensures that the project is technically coherent and meets desired technical standards. The role advises on technical decisions and innovation similar to the role of the business visionary from a business perspective.

The Project Manager offers high-level ad-hoc style leadership and manages the working environment.

The Business Analyst is active in supporting the project-level roles and the solution development team.

The Team Leader is the servant leader of the solution development team, ensuring that it functions to meet its objective.

The Business Ambassador has significant input into the creation and prioritization of requirements, after which this role offers daily detailed requirements.

The Solution developer works with other roles to interpret requirements and translates them into a solution increment that meets the functional and non-functional needs of the business as a whole.

The Business Adviser alongside the business ambassador is often expected to provide specialist input on solution development. This role may be for an intended user or one who provides legal advice to which solutions must comply.

The Technical Adviser provides specific technical input from the perspective of those responsible for operational change management, support, and ongoing maintenance of the solution
