Scott Ambler on Disciplined Agile and Agile Beyond Software Teams

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Scott Ambler of Disciplined Agile about the DA toolkit and taking agile beyond software devlopment Why listen to this podcast • Disciplined Agile is a toolkit which provides a view of agile adoption at four levels – software development, DevOps, IT departments and whole enterprise • The toolkit provides context and questions to help you to make better choices for the specific context each team is working in and to do process improvement • Consistency across teams should not be a goal of agile adoption – each team is different, and they must inspect and adapt in ways that work best for their context. There is no one size fits all • Guided continuous improvement gives teams and organisations a head start on improvement by identifying patterns that have worked elsewhere, showing the choices available and the trade-offs that need to be made between different approaches • Good governance is all about motivation, enablement, monitoring and transparency, ideally with an automated framework – not bureaucracy and manual checks.
