From IEEE Software

... human-centricity, technical orientation, discipline, pragmatism, empiricism, experimentation, and value orientation.

I like this most:

A disciplined process applies its chosen technical practices CONSISTENTLY, if not BLINDLY. These practices may include coding standards, frequent builds, requirements modeling, architecting, informal design, code inspections, regressive unit testing, and exploratory testing. A disciplined process also consistently applies management practices to coordinate activities, share knowledge, and control product artifacts.
