The Disciplined Agile Certification is new in the Agile community, and now that PMI has acquired it, it is spreading throughout many enterprises.

From the entry-level, Disciplined Agile Scrum Master (DASM), to the master level, which has two certifications, Disciplined Agile Coach (DAC) and Disciplined Agile Value Stream Consultant (DAVSC), disciplined agile comes with a path of proficiency.

DASSM: Disciplined Agile Senior Scrum Master is the intermediate level (DASSM).

The Disciplined Agile Scrum Master (DASM) is one of the Disciplined Agile entry points, and after the course and certification, you can begin using the toolkit for your project team and improving your Way of Working (WoW). The DASM provides a solid foundation in Agile, Lean, and Disciplined Agile concepts. Disciplined Agile is a fantastic hybrid of Agile and Lean.

When it comes to DASSM (Disciplined Agile Senior Scrum Master), the curriculum and certification assist in managing more complex projects and collaborating with upper-level management to resolve issues and instill Agility in the organization. Many lessons in the course cover the practical implementation of the toolkit, which includes Pragmatic Planning, the Right Metrics, Tactical Scaling, Dev-Ops, Value Stream, and so on.

Now talking about the major change that DASSM Certification can bring on to your career –

1. Confidence level gets higher on handling complex projects
2. Learn Adopt and Implement new practices with the help of the Disciplined Agile toolkit in your organization.
3. Create high-performance teams to implement agility in your teams and organizations since DASSM also emphasizes soft skills, which DASM does not.

Conclusion: What sets a Senior Scrum Master apart from a Scrum Master?

To differentiate their offerings and provide value to organizations and aspirants, PMI introduced the Scrum Master and Senior Scrum Master roles. The plan was to go on a journey and introduce Agility into the organization. According to reports, PMI conducted research with the top consulting firms, and because Scrum Master was widely accepted, they included the term and differentiated their offerings by adding the “Senior” term.

The idea is to project to organizations and communities that they have advanced skills and thus add more value to complex projects.
