The '''design structure matrix''' (DSM)''' (also referred to as Dependency'''dependency Structurestructure Methodmethod''', Dependency'''dependency Structurestructure Matrixmatrix''', Problem'''problem Solvingsolving Matrixmatrix (PSM)''', '''incidence matrix''', N'''''n''-square matrix''' or Design'''design Precedenceprecedence Matrixmatrix''') is a compact, [[matrix (mathematics)|matrix]] representation of a system or project. The approach can be used to model complex systems in [[systems engineering]] or [[systems analysis]], and in [[project planning]] and [[project management]].
