Disciplined Agile Scrum Master (DASM)

The Disciplined Agile Scrum Master (DASM) is a PMI credential for professionals who want to apply agile and lean techniques within the Disciplined Agile (DA) toolkit. Unlike a standard Scrum Master certification, DASM teaches how to choose the right ways of working for your team's unique context, blending Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, and other agile approaches pragmatically.
