Instead of looking backward, i will risk to make some predictions to 2020 and you what to take a chance to?

All,

I am a little embarrassed to share that I am just now learning about DA. As I read about it, I would like to learn ways to influence others to improve their way of working. I work in the higher education industry and find it hard to influence change. While this is challenge, I continue to push forward and have had many successes.

I welcome your thoughts and ideas to apply this to my project teams and look forward to learning more about it.

Amelda -

While DA's origins are in technology, many of the process blades and goals are agnostic and could be applied to help teams develop their own WoW.

I'd suggest starting with the source at www.disciplinedagiledelivery.com to get a good grounding on the toolkit.

If you haven't already seen my on-demand webinar on it (Nov 12, 2019) on this site it also provides an intro.

Amelda. is not about to apply DA or any other thing. Is about to thelp your organization to get the key goals: survive, growth and developt. If after to analyze "the pain" your organization is living you consider Agile approach is a way to "cure the pain" then first understand what Agile really is. Agile is not a method neigther a type of life cycle so DA could help or not to implement Agile. Do not fall in the trap of "the silver bullet". Just my recommendation.

Thanks for the recommendation Sergio. I appreciate your comments. I do work with the university to help them with growth and development. I continue to look for better ways for the university to be more efficient and effective and have noticed that the more buyin I get from leaders helps influence other leaders and project team members.

I'll go back and read more about DA .

I follow in theory and practice DAD from the very begining it was written and published including I interacted with Mr. Scott Ambler in several forums and he had the enormous kindness and willingness to dialogue and exchange opinions with me, thing that helped me a lot to the best understanding of DAD. People forget, just in case they know about DAD, that the power is the basement on architecture which is the basement of Agile. One of the reasons is because is fully applicable beyond the software domain on top of any type of method, which is Agile by definition due to Agile was created with systemic theory in mind, outside the software domain (no matter the software people was the real contributor to Agile), and BETTER: if you apply Agile in the right way there is nothing to scale after and DAD helps on that. With that said, while I "pushed" the use of DAD as a mean to implement Agile approaches each time I have the opportunity to do that if the environment and the future strategy of the organization fit for that, I have to say (whithout sound rude, please is not my intention) that before the PMI adquired DAD few people know about it. Perhaps it was because both creators of DAD instead of taking a "marketing profile" use their time to make things betteer and better to improve DAD. Unfortunatelly that is not the same some of the "fathers" of Agile are done in the last years. NOW MY HOPE, MY WISH FOR THE FUTURE: the PMI, which this step it took with DAD, has the greatest opportunity to put Agile beyond software. In the past, except when the Software Extension form PMBOK was created, that was the big mistake the PMI took. Remember that you can read outside there about the PMI approach is software related when it is not right, but because the PMI´s Agile Guide, which is software related, the perception was reinforced. So, I hope, I wish that Scott Ambler can work inside the PMI to leverage the project management world (portfolio and program included) to the next level with DAD and keep project management on top of any approach, any process model/process life cycle, any method and any tool. If not, the project management world will loose the rest of value that still holds

I am new to DA. It's interesting approach. I disagree that DAgilists claim to be the only true project management methodology.
The process life-cycle usually goes through infancy, growth&expansion, general acceptance. In my opinion, Agile is still going through growth phase, mainly because there are so many Agile methodologies. Eventually, they will converge OR as I claim; there will be one 'better' PM methodology for product/service type. For example, hybrid waterfall for construction, while Scrum for small software project, Kanban for small compliance, etc.
There is a saying by Agile sales that 'Everything Agile is great, and everything great is Agile' - should we all jump on bandwagon and replace Agile word with DA?
