The Disciplined Agile Enterprise (DAE)
A Disciplined Agile Enterprise is able to anticipate and respond swiftly to changes in the marketplace. It does
this through an organizational culture and structure that facilitates change within the context of the situation
that it faces. Such organizations require a learning mindset in the mainstream business and underlying lean
and agile processes to drive innovation.

Parting Thoughts
• This was a very high-level overview of the Disciplined Agile (DA)
Framework
• Improvement requires hard work, there are no easy solutions
• Every organization is unique, one size does not fit all – Beware
prescriptive methods and instead allow teams to choose their WoW
• The DA framework looks at the whole picture to address the question
of how does it all fit together
