Photos du journal. Disciplined Agile Delivery. Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) Lifecycles (Agility@Scale: Strategies for Scaling Agile Software Development) In previous blog postings I've defined Discipline Agile Delivery (DAD) but I haven't shared the lifecycle (although I have done so in a couple of white papers, most recently Scaling Agile: An Executive Guide) in this blog.
Until now. The DAD method combines strategies and practices from several software methods, including Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Agile Modeling, Agile Data, and the Open Unified Process (OpenUP). One aspect of this "process idea reuse" is that the DAD extends the Scrum lifecycle to be a full-fledged delivery lifecycle. Figure 1 overviews the Scrum lifecycle, which addresses the construction aspects of agile delivery quite well.
