I appreciate the opportunity to share my journey toward earning the Disciplined Agile Value Stream Consultant (DAVSC) certification. It has been a great learning experience, and I truly value the support from ProThoughts Solutions throughout the process.
Why I Pursued DAVSC
After completing Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC), which focuses on a bottom-up approach, I wanted to gain the top-down perspective. My goal was to understand how agility works at higher levels and how to optimize value streams for true business agility.
While working at the team level was insightful, I noticed that without leadership alignment, challenges kept resurfacing. This made me realize the importance of working with higher management to create real, lasting change. That’s where DAVSC comes in.
My Experience with ProThoughts Solutions
As always, ProThoughts Solutions provided a well-structured and engaging learning experience. The sessions were interactive, and there was plenty of room for discussions, experience sharing, and deep dives into real-world applications.
A special thanks to Ashish Sadekar, who provided clear guidance and practical insights that made complex concepts easy to understand. The study materials were well-prepared and helped a lot during my certification process. I also appreciated the flexibility in scheduling, which made it easier to balance work and learning.
Challenges & How I Overcame Them
Thankfully, there weren’t major challenges. The structured training, along with Ashish’s constant support, made the preparation process smooth. Any doubts I had were addressed quickly, which made a big difference.
How DAVSC is Impacting My Journey
One key takeaway from DAVSC is the power of observation—it’s a critical skill when optimizing value streams. Through this training, I’ve started seeing areas for improvement more clearly. While I’m still building experience in this space, I now feel more confident in working at a strategic level to support Agile transformations.
A Special Thank You to Ashish Sadekar
I want to personally thank Ashish Sadekar for being more than just a trainer—he’s been an advisor, mentor, and coach throughout my Agile journey. His guidance has helped me not only understand Agile concepts but also apply them in real-world scenarios.
I truly appreciate his dedication to helping professionals grow in this space.
Advice for Future DAVSC Aspirants
For anyone considering DAVSC, here’s my advice:
- Trust the process—the training is well-structured, and the concepts will fall into place.
- Engage in discussions—hearing real-world examples makes learning much more practical.
- Apply what you learn—start observing value streams around you and think about ways to improve them.
Big thanks again to Prothoughts Solutions for the support. This certification is just another step forward, and I look forward to putting these learnings into action.
