  • Many organizations have adopted, and then tailored, a combination of Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) as they’ve adopted agile strategies. But organizations successful adopting agile have found that this isn’t enough, that they also needed to adopt strategies for all aspects of the delivery lifecycle from start to finish. Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) is a hybrid agile process framework which addresses full agile delivery lifecycle in a governed and enterprise-aware manner. In addition to the leadership and requirements management strategies of Scrum, and the technical practices of XP, in this presentation you’ll learn how to successfully initiate an agile project, mitigate risk early in the agile lifecycle, how to weave governance into the lifecycle, and the issues which agile teams face transitioning their solutions into production.
