FAQ

Disciplined Agile (DA) is an agnostic, comprehensive library of strategies and practices, with practical guidance to help people, teams, and organizations to make process-decisions in a context-sensitive manner.

Disciplined Agile was originally Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD). DAD was put together within IBM Rational, an initiative of Scott Ambler, based on empirical observations by Scott and Mark Lines along with other IBMers and several IBM business partners. These observations of what was actually occurring in practice, what was going well and what wasn’t, and in what situations it was working were first captured in articles, blog postings, and courseware. This eventually culminated in a book, Disciplined Agile Delivery: A Practitioner's Guide to Agile Software Delivery in the Enterprise, published in June 2012. It has, ever since, evolved into a comprehensive agile and lean toolkit called Disciplined Agile (DA).

DA serves as a firm foundation for business agility. By leveraging the experiences of thousands of teams across industries, DA shows how the various activities such as Solution Delivery (software development), Enterprise Architecture, Portfolio Management, Security, Finance, Vendor Management and many others work together. DA teaches what these activities should address and helps you identify a range of options that can be considered, describing the trade-offs associated with each option.

The DA toolkit is architected into four views:

Mindset: DA builds on the foundations of Agile and Lean
People: Roles, responsibilities and team structures are at the centre of DA.
Flow: Processes are dynamic, depicted by lifecycle and workflow diagrams
Practices: The small strategies and techniques count towards the overall goal. Goal diagrams are a high-level depiction of practices.

Since 01 August 2019, all Disciplined Agile and certification intellectual property (IP) is owned by the Project Management Institute, Inc.

You can find out more about Disciplined Agile on its PMI homepage - https://www.pmi.org/disciplined-agile.

You can get started with Disciplined Agile wherever you are and in whatever situation you are. The DA philosophy encourages you to do the best you can in any situation you face, and always strive to improve. It guides you to carefully choose your way of working to make small, safe improvements over time instead of making huge, and often risky changes. Such an approach is referred to as Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI).
