The IBM white paper “Disciplined Agile Delivery: An Introduction“, published in 2011, was one of the first publicly published descriptions of the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework.  This paper was co-written by me and Mark Lines.  I’ve created this page to ensure its availability.

DAD evolved into what is now known as PMI’s Disciplined Agile (DA) toolkit. A great overview of DA is presented in the book Choose Your WoW! A Disciplined Agile Approach to Optimizing Your Way of Working.

Topics Covered:

• Context Counts: The Agile Scaling Model
• What is the DAD process framework?
  • People First
  • Learning oriented
  • Agile
  • A hybrid process framework
  • Solutions over software
  • Goal-driven delivery lifecycle
  • Enterprise aware
