Disciplined Agile (DA)’s agile lifecycle, is based largely upon the Scrum lifecycle with proven lean governance concepts to make it enterprise ready. This lifecycle is often
adopted by project teams focused on developing a single release of a solution, although sometimes a team will stay together and follow it again for the next release (and
the next release after that, and so on). In many ways this lifecycle depicts how a Scrum-based project lifecycle works in an enterprise-class setting.
