Disciplined Agile – Is That Something For Your Team? – interview with Klaus Boedker

One can easily get lost in an always growing number of agile methodologies, approaches, tools and techniques. In the last few years, Disciplined Agile is becoming more visible on the agile map as the must-have toolbox for everyday use for agile teams looking to improve. Don't worry if you missed it before, Klaus will explain its benefits to you. 

Discipline of Work and Life – interview with Scott Ambler

The conversation with Scott Ambler, co-creator of Disciplined Agile (DA), driven by Weronika Makać and Jan Orłowski. At the end of July 2022, you officially left the role of Vice President and Chief Scientist of Disciplined Agile at the Project Management Institute. Can you explain to us why you and Mark made this decision? We started on August 1, 2019, when PMI purchased our organization. Contrary to popular belief, there was no agreement in our contract to stay for these three years, only for a minimum of 90 days. 3 years is a lot of time and we stayed that time because we believe in the PMI mission and a lot of good things happened here.

Disciplined Agile Practically – interview with Daniel Gagnon

Interview with Daniel Gagnon, the Speaker of 16th International Congress of PMI Poland Chapter, conducted by Kornelia Trzęsowska. Could you please describe to our readers what is the Disciplined Agile for you? For me, DA has always been a powerful tool that teams and organizations can use to find ways of working that respect their local culture and context – and therefore stand a much better chance of enabling progress and improvement than one-size-fits-all approaches. Could you please name the main differences between DA and pure Agile methodology? That’s easy – DA is not a methodology, it is a philosophy (or mindset if you prefer).

Scrum is wonderful, it is just not enough – interview with Mark Lines

Interview with Mark Lines, Vice-President of PMI and co-creator of Disciplined Agile, conducted by Dominika Kantorowicz Disciplined Agile began in around 2009 when the co-creator – Scott Ambler – was the Chief methodologist of Agile and Lean for IBM worldwide. He recognized that we needed something more robust than just Scrum to deliver complex, enterprise initiatives using agile. Scrum is described by a 19-page guide. While Scrum is wonderful, it is just not enough. So Scott asked me for help and together we decided to pull together supplemental practices from all the different methods and frameworks and bring them together into one cohesive library of practices and strategies, as well as fit-for-context advice for which ones make sense in different situations. We need to recognize that there is not just one agile process that suits all situations. If you’re building a simple website, you don’t need to do much in the way of requirements.
