When we start adopting an agile way of working, reality quickly proves to be much more complex than expected. Do you need to employ concepts such as eliminating waste, cost of delay, quality, rapid feedback and response, and the role of management? Would you like to understand all aspects of Disciplined Agile, including its conceptual basis, how it is organised, roles and team structures, and its overall scope?

As a team leader you strive to be more agile and help your team be more productive. To succeed, you need that agile mindset, combined with leadership and team management skills. At the same time, you need to perform within the context of your organisation and its culture. This Disciplined Agile Lean Scrum Master (DALSM) training and certification provides tools and strategies to help you lead an agile team, influence people, remove impediments and tailor your team’s way of working (WoW) for it to match and reflect the unique situation of your team.

> This course is for PROJECT LEADERS who:

• Understand the fundamentals of agile, and better yet, have experience applying them in practice;
• Are experienced with agile and want to take their careers to the next level;
• Would like to qualify for the PMI exam to obtain their DALSM (Disciplined Agile Lean Scrum Master) certification.
