DASSM Workshop

DASSM stands for Disciplined Agile Senior Scrum Master and it is one level higher up than DASM (Disciplined Agile Scrum Master). DASM talks about the foundations of Scrum, Lean and Disciplined Agile.

DASSM talks about taking this to the next level and implementing it not only for your teams but evangelizing for other teams, by networking with upper levels of management and other functional heads in the organization

There is no pre-requisite for the DASSM workshop.

However, we highly recommend to have the DASM course, whether you are experienced in Agile or not.

If you think that you can go to DASSM course directly, we recommend to take Prothoughts Knowledge Check

• Prothoughts Knowledge Check

 This will help you to understand where you stand with respect to your knowledge of Disciplined Agile.

This Knowledge Check identify areas where they may require additional study. Further, it will recommend resources and future course of action to attempt the DASSM exam.

The Knowledge check helps in the following aspects:

The DASSM does not have a training pre-requisite to take the workshop. 
Students may have the 2 years required agile experience, which means the DASM class would be a too easy for them, but they may not have been introduced to Disciplined Agile (DA).  This Knowledge Check helps them identify areas where extra learning/time may be needed
It helps them know what sections in the book to study prior to the exam

As explained in the previous question, there is no eligibility for DASSM exam. We recommend that you take Prothoughts Knowledge Check

• Disciplined Agile Senior Scrum Master (DASSM) Certification Eligibility

Upon completing the DASSM training, you’ll be provided with instructions for registering and taking the exam. A separate email comes from PMI to your id, which Prothoughts will be coordinating. This is covered extensively in our material.
It is an online closed book multi-choice exam. 50 questions to be attempted in 90 min.

After the DASM or DASSM training workshop is complete, the instructor must email a roster of the attendees to [email protected]. An exam access link will be automatically generated and emailed directly to each participating student. Notifications cannot be generated to anyone but the student. Depending on when the roster is received, it can take up to a few business days following the training for the student to receive the exam link.

The exam is administered online through Pearson VUE. The student will need to log in to PMI and access the link to the exam from the myPMI dashboard. The student must have a PMI ID with a valid mailing address and valid phone number. This is required information for any candidate to test through Pearson VUE. If the address and phone number is not completed, the student will not be able to take the exam.

It is a non-proctored exam so the student may take it at any time of day (or night) when they are ready. They will have 30 days from the time they receive the exam link to take the exam, and they may retake it two more times within that 30-day period if they do not pass the first attempt. In the future, there will be an exam retake fee ($150), but for now, there is a limited time special offer to retake the exam for no additional cost.

If a student does not receive an exam link within five business days of the instructor sending the roster, please notify [email protected].

PMI allows only 1 free attempt for the DASM or DASSM exam. In the case of the Retake exam, you may purchase a retake exam, for a maximum of 2 additional times, through your myPMI dashboard within your 30-day exam eligibility period. 

Each retake is $150. Upon payment, you can access the link to retake the exam either through your myPMI dashboard or use the Schedule Your Exam link in the automated email from Pearson VUE. If your dashboard does not refresh to show Schedule Exam or Start Exam within 30 minutes of payment, contact PMI for assistance.
