What is the DASM?
The DASM (Disciplined Agile Scrum Master) is a PMI certification from the Disciplined Agile toolkit. Where Scrum imposes a framework, Disciplined Agile helps the team choose the way of working best suited to its context: a pragmatic approach to agility.
It is a good entry point to understand agility flexibly, without limiting yourself to a single method.
Who is the DASM for?
The DASM is for anyone starting out or wanting to structure their agile practice, with no prerequisite.
- Beginners in agility who want solid foundations
- Agile team members
- Project managers transitioning to agility
- Professionals who want an adaptable approach, not a rigid framework
Eligibility
