In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Scott Ambler of Disciplined Agile about the DA toolkit and taking agile beyond software devlopment\n\nWhy listen to this podcast\n\n\u2022\tDisciplined Agile is a toolkit which provides a view of agile adoption at four levels \u2013 software development, DevOps, IT departments and whole enterprise\n\u2022\tThe toolkit provides context and questions to help you to make better choices for the specific context each team is working in and to do process improvement \n\u2022\tConsistency across teams should not be a goal of agile adoption \u2013 each team is different, and they must inspect and adapt in ways that work best for their context. There is no one size fits all\n\u2022\tGuided continuous improvement gives teams and organisations a head start on improvement by identifying patterns that have worked elsewhere, showing the choices available and the trade-offs that need to be made between different approaches\n\u2022\tGood governance is all about motivation, enablement, monitoring and transparency, ideally with an automated framework \u2013 not bureaucracy and manual checks. Transparency over false predictability\n\nMore on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/3fwQyiZ\nYou can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq\n\nSubscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq\nLike InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8\nFollow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ\nFollow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq\nCheck the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/3fwQyiZ
