The second edition of this book offers a concise overview of agile software development, focusing on Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD), the first level of the Disciplined Agile (DA) framework. Through a case study, it illustrates a typical agile team's journey in adopting a DA approach while developing a mission-critical application within a legacy enterprise environment. The narrative spans from team initiation to deployment, detailing the team's experiences and process improvements as they transition from Scrum to a lean continuous delivery model aligned with their organization's DevOps strategy. DAD integrates various methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and Extreme Programming, providing a flexible framework that addresses gaps in mainstream agile practices. Each chapter covers key aspects, starting with an introduction to the book and the history of DAD, followed by a discussion of common myths. The case study introduces the team and their initial planning efforts, leading into detailed accounts of construction iterations and the transition phase, which culminates in production deployment. The final chapters outline the team's evolution toward a Disciplined DevOps strategy and available resources. This 111-page book is designed to be a quick, informative read, with significant updates in the rewritten chapters reflecting the latest developments in DAD.
