DAC Certification Introduction
The DAC (Disciplined Agile Coach) certification is the ultimate certification in Disciplined Agile. The journey which begins with DASM (Disciplined Agile Scrum Master) ends with a DAC. Disciplined Agile is designed to make you a Coach rather than a Scrum Master. The Disciplined Agile Coach certification gives you the necessary ammunition to coach a team and interdependent teams and even at an organizational level. However, the DAC certification is just a start at making you a Master in Disciplined Agile.
DAC course is ideal for you if you want to coach and lead several teams, each of which may have different priorities and preferred ways of working (WoWs). Develop the ability to guide diverse teams and groups of teams in determining the best approach for them to collaborate and learn together based on the situation they are currently experiencing.
The Project Management Institute (PMI) has recognized ProThoughts as a Disciplined Agile Partner and a Premier Authorized Training Partner (ATP). PMI gives the Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) Certification to practitioners who successfully complete the Disciplined Agile Coach Certification course and demonstrate their expertise by passing the exam.
