About this book
The Disciplined Agile handbook, now published by PMI, built on the idea that a team should choose its way of working rather than adopt a named method whole. It presents the delivery lifecycle in several flavours covering agile, lean, continuous delivery and exploratory approaches, then breaks the work into process goals such as forming the team, exploring scope and improving quality. For each goal it lays out the decision points and the options available at each one, with the trade offs described so a team can choose deliberately rather than by default. The second edition is shorter than the first and points to the online Disciplined Agile browser for the detail. It is also the reference for the Disciplined Agile certifications.

- Tailoring the approachDeciding which practices, artefacts and controls a particular project will use, at what formality, and being able to say why each one earns its place.
- The PMBOK principlesSix principles carry the mindset the eighth edition expects of a project manager. They set a direction for judgement, and none of them prescribes an action.
- Choosing a delivery approachPredictive, adaptive and hybrid describe positions on a range, and what places work on that range is requirement stability, feedback, constraint and the cost of a wrong turn.
- Hybrid delivery in practiceCombining predictive and adaptive elements on one project, the patterns that work, and the seams between them where most hybrid arrangements actually fail.
