Honestly, I have doubts about the validity of any claim made in a book which sets Agility and Discipline off against each other. Agile methodologies require much more discipline, in my experience, than other kinds of development.

That is, if you're going to exploit the benefits of Agile processes, you must follow the enabling practices that come with them (see Martin Fowler's Is Design Dead article; he is mostly talking about XP, but it applies to all Agility, in my opinion). That takes a lot of discipline.

But, to answer your question, I think that all truly plan-driven methodologies are variations of Waterfall, such as Spiral, which takes development through multiple levels of prototyping before switching to a Waterfall approach, and the V-modelCap Gemini SDM, which better shows the relationship between different stages of development and verificationis Waterfall with very distinct phases where each ends before another starts.
