Course Details

Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) certification is the ultimate milestone in the Disciplined Agile journey. It is a testament to your perseverance in the Disciplined Agile Roadmap laid out by PMI. The DA roadmap starts from Disciplined Agile Scrum Master (DASM) – the preliminary course that clears your foundations. It ends with two master-level certifications – Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) and Disciplined Agile Value Stream Consultant (DAVSC). In these series of courses, you solidify your knowledge of the Disciplined Agile Toolkit. Simultaneously you hone the skills to lead teams across the enterprise.

PMI’s Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) is the most popular path Agile practitioners take. This is because the Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) certification course gives you the skills to lead a team and interdependent teams effectively. Moreover, this prestigious course inculcates the key skill to navigate through different priorities and preferred agile ways of working (WoWs) of the teams. Thus, a skilled Disciplined Agile Coach is capable of guiding their team on how to apply Disciplined Agile and choose the best way of working for them. Therefore, by getting DAC-certified you gain the necessary ammunition to help your organization achieve true agility!

The Project Management Institute (PMI) recognizes ProThoughts as a Disciplined Agile Partner and a Premier Authorized Training Partner (ATP).

Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) Certification: Under 1 Minute!

Watch this video by Mr. Ashish Sadekar, one of the top 10 people across the globe to get DAC-certified and achieve the Disciplined Agile Coach status. In the video, he covers the essence of the coveted certification offered by PMI in under a minute: 

Who Is This Course For?

The Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) certification course is for those seasoned professionals who want to step to the ultimate level of Agility. This course enables you to guide teams and help them solve problems using the Disciplined Agile Toolkit. By doing so, the Agile Coach shall develop the most suitable Way of working for the teams, interdependent teams, and thereby the organization. Disciplined Agile is agnostic and doesn’t limit itself to a certain field like software or IT. So, if you’re someone with three years of agile coaching experience in any field be it in manufacturing, software, procurement, etc., then Disciplined Agile Coach is a suitable upskilling option for you.

What Is A Disciplined Agile Coach?

A Disciplined Agile Coach is a member of the transformation team who coaches teams across the enterprise on how to apply Disciplined Agile and choose the best way of working. With their extensive knowledge of the Disciplined Agile Toolkit and their commendable experience in its implementation, they help organizations achieve true agility. A Disciplined Agile Coach knows how to align teams with organizational strategies and goals to enable agile transformation. They go beyond standard software development practices and set agile frameworks. Instead, a Disciplined Agile Coach considers hundreds of practices to tailor a strategy that suits their teams the best. They solely focus on the choices that must be made, the available solutions, and the trade-offs that must be considered to accelerate process improvement.

Why Disciplined Agile For Agile Coaches?

An Agile Coach is a skilled professional who leads the path to scaling agile practices across departments and achieving enterprise agility. For this, the Agile Coach should be aware of which practice is exactly suitable for the business at hand. Implementing the “industry-best” practice that is ill-fitting to the situation could hamper the agile transformation. This is why Disciplined Agile is the best choice for Agile Coaches, regardless of their niche.

4 reasons why as an Agile Coach, you should be interested in leveling up to a Disciplined Agile Coach:

  1. Extend your knowledge base: Disciplined Agile goes beyond a single approach. You learn to apply hundreds of practices. Hence, you are better capable of guiding your teams and solving their problems.
  2. Become method-agnostic: Disciplined Agile does not prescribe a few best practices, as we mentioned before. The toolkit is not just limited to agile and consists of traditional practices as well as lean project management techniques. So, you become truly agnostic.
  3. Work across the enterprise, not just IT: DA can be applied to all departments of an organization, and not just software development. You can coach for finance, enterprise architecture, value streams, security, and many more sections.
  4. Distinguish yourself from other Agile Coaches: Most coaches are limited to Scrum or SAFe for agile scaling. You gain an edge over them with your solid foundational knowledge of the DA toolkit, and a certification to back you up.

Disciplined Agile Coach

Therefore, the DAC Certification makes you a Super Coach than just a coach. It provides you with a superpower in the form of a Disciplined Agile toolkit to scale agile across your organization in the best way possible. Hence, Disciplined Agile businesses produce value more quickly, reach markets faster, and have happy customers.

Pre-requisites For The Disciplined Agile Coach Certification

A three-year experience in agile coaching is necessary. Previously, the DASSM certification was a prerequisite for the Disciplined Agile Coach certification. However, since October 2023, this eligibility barrier has been ruled out.

One frequently asked question we get is: Is it possible to pass the Disciplined Agile exam without finishing the training workshop? To answer that simply, no. You do need to undergo the complete 2-day training to be eligible to take the exam. It could be either an instructor-led or on-demand training session. This professional training program is intended to help agile team leaders, and managers lead their teams more effectively and make the most of the Disciplined Agile toolkit. Moreover, the eligibility code required to schedule your exam is provided after the workshop is finished. So yes, the training is mandatory to take the Disciplined Agile Coach exam.

FAQs

Three years of agile coaching experience

Any practitioner or expert who wishes to implement Agility or someone who wishes to learn Agility at the highest level. The candidate can be from any domain and cannot be restricted to IT or a particular domain, as long as it fulfills the pre-requisites.

  1. You need to attend the ATP approved training for DAC 
  2. Prepare for the DAC using ProThoughts and PMI material 
  3. Appear for the exam 
  4. You are DAC certified 

The exam is of PMI standards and the syllabus is as per the PMI given material. There will be no question outside the syllabus.

Many organizations have started implementing Disciplined Agile for achieving Agility for their organizations. And there is dire need for the right talent including the Disciplined Agile Coaches. 

With time, we believe the demand will only rise manifold across the world. 

You get access to standard PMI courseware, as you had for the DASSM course. 

Further, Prothoughts provides their own courseware, as they did for DASSM course, which includes and not limited to

  1. 2 DAC Mock Tests on our PROmock platform 
  2. Supplementary Slidebook 
  3. Flashcards 
  4. Exam Tips and Guidelines 
  5. Mind-maps 

The DAC has a SuperpowerJ with the DA toolkit and internalizes the DA mindset. The DA Coach often works with the Enterprise Coach to inculcate the Agility in Enterprise. However, the DA Coach main focus is on a team and the inter-dependencies of the team.

Kindly refer Prothoughts Youtube channel and this webinar 

DAC is focused on teams to help them solve problems and therefore, improve the Way of Working for a team. The DAVSC is focused on the organizational Value stream and transform the organization to Agility.

The DAC is a logical progression from DASSM to achieve mastery in Disciplined Agile

Yes. The DASM, DASSM and DAC are positioned as Shu, Ha and Ri. The beginner, the Intermediate and the Master. With DAC, you achieve the Mastery in Disciplined Agile.

The Disciplined Agile Coach certification is “An activity based certification” or “practical certification”. Most of the PMI certifications had theory, or guidelines, or framework, etc. However, the DAC certification tells you about a problem and the team needs to employ the toolkit to solve the problems.

And this approach helps the students to adopt the toolkit in their workplace and as a DAC take the tool-kit to solve complex problems and improve the Ways of Working.

The DAC is a Master level certification from Disciplined Agile. It is a natural progression from DASSM certification to make you a master in Disciplined Agile. The DAC certification workshop is a first step towards the same.

We would urge you to refer the webinar by John Munro and Ashish Sadekar.

Today organizations need Coaches rather than Scrum Masters who can improve the Ways of Working for a team. The whole Disciplined Agile certification is positioned to make you a Coach than a Scrum Master.

The Trainer for the Disciplined Agile Coach Certification will be Ashish Sadekar. Ashish has been the 1st certified DAC from India and has been revered coach and trainer for many years. He is also the 1st DAC instructor from India and one of his missions is to inculcate Agility and develop Coaches to improve the Way of Working for teams and organizations. He and Prothoughts closely collaborate with PMI India and PMI Global for Disciplined Agile.

You can listen to his Prod-cast here and get more insights on Disciplined Agile.
