  3. In DA, the term 'Disciplined DevOps' refers to:

    Disciplined DevOps extends Agile/Lean thinking across the entire IT value stream, bridging development and operations for faster, safer delivery.

  4. Which scaling framework organizes teams into 'Tribes,' 'Chapters,' and 'Guilds'?

    Answer: Spotify Model

    The Spotify Model organizes autonomous 'Squads' into 'Tribes,' with horizontal 'Chapters' for discipline alignment and 'Guilds' for communities of interest.

  5. In DA's process goal 'Develop on Cadence; Release on Demand,' what does 'Release on Demand' mean?

    Answer: Teams can release to production independently of the development cadence when value is ready

  6. What does DSDM (Dynamic Systems Development Method) emphasize most strongly?

    Answer: Fixed time and resources with flexible quality and scope

    DSDM inverts the traditional iron triangle by fixing time and resources while allowing scope to flex to deliver on time within budget.

    Answer: To coordinate and coach teams to ensure integrated software is produced each Sprint

    The Nexus Integration Team coordinates multiple Scrum teams, resolves integration issues, and ensures a usable integrated increment is produced each Sprint.
