Among the views that describe Disciplined Agile, what best represents the Practices?

The correct representation of Practices within Disciplined Agile is best captured through goal diagrams. Goal diagrams provide a visual representation of how various practices contribute to achieving specific goals. They help teams understand their options in choosing appropriate processes and techniques necessary to meet their objectives effectively.

These diagrams illustrate the relationships between high-level goals and the practices that support them, enabling teams to align their work with broader organizational objectives. By emphasizing the end goals rather than solely focusing on prescribed processes, teams are encouraged to adapt their practices to fit their unique context, fostering a more flexible and tailored approach to project management.

In contrast, lifecycle models, roles and responsibilities, and team structures are important aspects of Disciplined Agile but do not define the “Practices” specifically. Lifecycle models articulate the phases and progress of work, roles and responsibilities clarify who does what on the team, and team structures identify configurations for working together—all of which are essential but distinct from the concept of practices that goal diagrams encapsulate.
