Overview:

In the field of technology project management, there are many methodologies to choose from, including scrum, SAFE, LeSS, and traditional waterfall. The choice is often not yours as it depends on the type of project, as well as the leadership preferences in place at your organization. Choose Your Wow is a resource you can use for understanding the pros and cons of a particular methodology, as well as a comprehensive toolkit on a new methodology, Disciplined Agile Delivery.

It also explains the key differences between the DAD framework, and other agile methodologies, in particular scrum, and SAFE.
