Day 1 - Foundations of Disciplined Agile

1. The Disciplined Agile Mindset
   • The Agile Manifesto and its principles
   • What is business agility?
   • The seven principles of Disciplined Agile
   • The Disciplined Agile Manifesto
2. Overview
   • Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI) enables teams to continuously improve.
   • Disciplined Agile is an agnostic hybrid of approaches that leverages strategies from a variety of sources.
   • Disciplined Agile (DA) is architected into four views.
   • Process goal diagrams enable teams to understand their process options.
   • Agile is scaled tactically at the team level, and there are six scaling factors to consider.
   • Agile is scaled strategically at the organization level.
3. People and Teams
   • Leaders and managers are different, and both are important.
   • Agile teams need leaders.
   • The role of leader will vary by team and needs to be fit for purpose.
   • There are many potential agile roles.
   • Where do you fit in?
4. Team Agility
   • DA is organized into process blades.
   • Your organization is a complex adaptive system (CAS).
   • Teams have working agreements.
   • Project teams versus long-standing teams.
   • DA supports a variety of lifecycles.
   • Teams will choose and evolve their way of working (WoW).

6. Lean Governance

Day 2 - Choosing Your WoW™ (Way of Working):

1. Demonstrate how to lead your team through a tailoring workshop to identify their initial Way of Working (WoW).
2. Select the best-fit lifecycle for your team.
3. Choose the Disciplined Agile goal diagrams that are most relevant to your team’s situation.

   • “Pragmatism”, “context counts”, and “choice is good” are the key DA principles we focus on in this module.
   • Your organization is a complex adaptive system, meaning that what worked for one team will not necessarily work for other teams. We have to tailor our own way of working
   
   2. Five steps to choosing your team’s way of working (WoW)

• We lay out the five steps for choosing your team's way of working
• Who is involved in choosing your team’s WoW?
