What: Disciplined Agile Lean Scrum Master (DALSM) (2-day Certification course)

As a team leader you strive to be more agile and help your team be more productive. To succeed, you need an agile mindset, combined with leadership and team management skills. At the same time need to do so within the context of your organization and its culture. The new Disciplined Agile Lean Scrum Master (DALSM) training and certification provides tools and strategies to help you lead an agile team, influence people, and remove impediments. Using real-world agile strategies, you will learn how to tailor your team’s Way of Working (WoW) to optimize productivity and continuously improve.

Upon completion of this workshop, you will be prepared to begin your Disciplined Agile certification journey.

Why:

Organizations are growing weary of proprietary, inflexible methods requiring expensive training and consulting support.  The “Agile Industrial Complex” has become fragmented over 20+ years with lack of leadership, unprofessional behavior, and questionable certification schemes.  The time is right for PMI + DA to bring a professional approach to mindful and bespoke agile with PMI’s strong community support and a credible certification program.

Disciplined Agile Lean Scrum Masters (“DALSM”) are prepared to provide value beyond what a Scrum Master that is promoting and supporting Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide.  They support teams and organizations application of the Disciplined Agile toolkit, described in four views:

Mindset: Principles and Guidelines

People: Roles and Responsibilities and Team Structures

Practices: Goal Diagrams

Flow: Lifecycles and Workflows

• Disciplined Agile (DA) is a process-decision toolkit that provides straightforward guidance to help people, teams, and organizations to streamline their processes in a context-sensitive manner
