We present IBM Rational Disciplined Agile Delivery

The use of agile methodologies during the development of programming products is not news to us. More and more organizations worldwide are deciding to introduce agile principles into their work.

Scrum stands out among numerous other methodologies and is probably the most popular and widespread agile method used today. It is widely accepted and has clear although strict rules, as well as a long tradition and history of successful implementation. However, this kind of methodology has its drawbacks and areas for improvement; thus, bringing Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) onto the scene.

DAD is an evolutionary (iterative and incremental) approach to development that is aimed at regularly producing high-quality solutions within the defined budget and timeframe throughout the life cycle and also promoting early detection of problems, risk elimination, and delivery of business values to the user.
