Main characteristics of Agile development methodology, adopted by Digital Design to customer needs, includes flexible approach to requirements estimation, while resources and time are fixed. Due to these approach short software product releases are available after each short iteration, which helps customers to understand and state requirements during project.  Common work with customer on requirements generation is also usual part of this development methodology.
