Enforcing adherence to organizational standards is an important aspect of Lean governance in the Disciplined Agile framework. Lean governance involves ensuring that teams follow defined policies, procedures, and standards to align with the organization's goals while allowing for flexibility and responsiveness. It balances the need for governance with the principles of Lean, ensuring that teams work within the boundaries of organizational standards while continuously improving their processes.

The Disciplined Agile (DA) principle of being pragmatic is characterized by focusing on being as effective as possible and continuously improving. DA encourages teams to choose the best tools, practices, and strategies that suit their specific context, rather than rigidly adhering to a particular methodology or framework. This principle emphasizes a pragmatic, situational approach, where the goal is to achieve optimal results while continuously refining and improving processes. Options A, B, and C relate to aspects of flexibility and adaptation, but they do not fully capture the broader commitment to effectiveness and continuous improvement that defines pragmatism in DA.

The Architecture Owner is a primary role on a Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) team. This role is responsible for guiding the team in making architectural decisions and ensuring the architectural integrity of the solution. The Architecture Owner works closely with the team to balance the need for emergent design and intentional architecture. The other options (Domain Expert, Specialist, and Integrator) are roles that can exist on an agile team but are not primary roles defined within the DAD framework.

In Disciplined Agile, it is the team members who decide how much work is moved from the product backlog to the iteration backlog. This decision is based on the team's capacity, velocity, and understanding of the complexity and size of the work items. While the Product Owner (B) prioritizes the product backlog, it is up to the team to determine how much of that work can be realistically completed within an iteration. Stakeholders (C), the team manager (D), or the project manager (E) do not make this decision.
