In Disciplined Agile, which leadership style is most effective when guiding an organization through early-stage agile transformation?
Answer: Servant leadership that removes impediments
Servant leadership enables teams by removing obstacles and supporting self-organization, which is foundational to DA transformations.
A DA Coach encounters passive resistance from middle managers during an agile transformation. What is the BEST initial approach?
Answer: Engage managers in co-creating the change vision
Co-creating the change vision with resistant stakeholders builds ownership and reduces passive resistance.
Which Disciplined Agile principle best supports sustainable organizational change?
Answer: Enterprise awareness
Enterprise awareness ensures that local changes align with broader organizational context, making transformations sustainable.
When using the GuidedContinuousImprovement (GCI) approach in DA, what is the primary role of a DA Coach?
Answer: Facilitating the team in choosing and improving their own way of working
GCI positions the DA Coach as a guide who helps teams choose and evolve their WoW rather than mandating a fixed process.
An organization wants to scale agile practices across 50 teams. Which DA strategy should a coach recommend to manage the complexity of this change?
Answer: Apply a tailored approach per team context while sharing learnings enterprise-wide
DA's context-sensitive approach means each team tailors its WoW while the organization benefits from shared learning networks.
Which change model does Disciplined Agile most closely align with when addressing organizational resistance?
Answer: Kotter's 8-Step Change Model
Kotter's model — creating urgency, building coalitions, and sustaining change — aligns well with DA's enterprise-aware transformation approach.
A DA Coach notices that transformation initiatives consistently stall after initial excitement fades. What does this most likely indicate?
Answer: The change lacks anchoring mechanisms and leadership reinforcement
Stalling after initial momentum signals that change anchoring — embedding new behaviors into culture — has not occurred.
