Balancing Agility and Discipline begins by defining agility and discipline, sweeping aside the rhetoric and drilling down to core concepts. The authors describe a day in the life of developers who live on one side or the other. They expose the bureaucracy and stagnation that mark discipline without agility, and they liken agility without discipline to unbridled and fruitless enthusiasm. Their analysis is both objective and grounded, leading finally to clear and practical guidance for all software professionals-showing how to locate the sweet spot on the agility-discipline continuum for any given project.
