Disciplined Agile® Scrum Master (DASM) Certification
Overview of Disciplined Agile
Extend Agile beyond a single approach: Because true agility comes from freedom, not frameworks.
Each team has its own ways of working. Yet, you stick to a widely used Agile Prject Management framework or one of the numerous agile methodologies out there. Sure, a framework can help, but the smartest path forward often borrows thinking from several. That’s where Disciplined Agile can help.
What is Disciplined Agile?
Disciplined Agile is not a framework, but rather a toolkit that focuses on the decisions you need to consider, the options available to you, and the trade-offs associated with these options. It shows you how to effectively combine strategies from Scrum, Kanban, SAFe®, and many other approaches in a tailorable and scalable manner. Organizations that adopt Disciplined Agile go to market sooner, deliver value faster and make their customers happier. Read our success stories here.
