Chapter 3
Disciplined Agile Delivery in a Nutshell
Key Points
•DAD is the delivery portion of the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit, not just another methodology.
•If you are using Scrum, XP, or Kanban, you are already using variations of a subset of DAD.
•DAD provides six life cycles to choose from; it doesn't prescribe a single way of working. Choice is good.
•DAD focuses on achieving common goals in an agile manner, not the production of specific work products or following a prescriptive agile strategy.
•DAD addresses key enterprise concerns not described by mainstream methods such as Scrum.
•DAD is complementary to SAFe, yet far less prescriptive and more practical for most enterprises.
•DAD shows how agile works from beginning to end.
