Disciplined Agile (Da)

A decision-making framework that helps teams choose and tailor their ways of working to deliver solutions in small, iterative increments.

Key Points

  • Guides context-based choices so teams can select the best way of working (WoW) for their situation.
  • Supports iterative, flow-based, and hybrid lifecycles to enable incremental delivery.
  • Scales from a single team to the enterprise with guidance for roles, coordination, and governance.
  • Encourages continuous improvement by regularly refining practices, policies, and workflows.

Example

A project team in a regulated company uses Disciplined Agile to select a Kanban-based lifecycle with short iterations, adds test automation practices from XP, and adopts lightweight compliance checkpoints to deliver features incrementally while meeting audit requirements.
