Swiss Army Knife and Disciplined Agile

The Disciplined Agile toolkit can be likened to the Swiss Army Knife. Just like the way it is imperative for those who would need to be ready for all adventures to take one Swiss Army Knife with them everywhere they go. Organisations that would need to take advantage of all market forces need to be ever-ready with the Disciplined Agile toolkit. The Swiss Army knife is a multi-tool pocketknife consisting of a main spearhead blade along with other tools like screwdrivers, a tin opener, saw blade, a pair of scissors etc. The tools are stored within the handle of the knife useable via a fulcrum structure.

Disciplined Agile offers a solid foundation for business agility with the robust tools that support how teams and organisations effectively work to achieve valuable outcomes. The DA toolkit guides teams in making informed choices about their ways of working by tailoring their approach to their unique circumstances. The DA toolkit is the soldiers’ knives that help make complex systems simpler to navigate. The same set of Swiss Army knives are distributed to every member of the Swiss Armed Forces, either commissioned officers or non-commissioned officers. Similarly, the same Disciplined Agile toolkit is available to everyone and every organisation that would like to harness the practices available in the agnostic toolkit. The good news is that you can start where you currently are at. Whatever framework or method that your organisation is currently using, Disciplined Agile can offer the improvement required to move your ways of working from where you are to where you would like to be.
