Disciplined Agile (DA)

PMI's hybrid, tool-kit approach that helps teams choose their way of working (WoW) based on context.

Definition

DA offers process goals and options rather than a single prescribed method, supporting life cycles such as agile (Scrum-based), lean (Kanban-based), continuous delivery, exploratory, and program. PMI acquired DA in 2019.

Example

A team uses DA goals to choose between Scrum and Kanban practices for its release process.

Exam tip

DA's motto is context counts; choose your WoW.
