I'm often asked how can someone learn about the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit. There are several ways that you can do so:
- Watch a 2 minute video. We recently released a short video that summarizes key aspects of DA.
- Read a 5 minute article. The article Introduction to Disciplined Agile is a short overview of the four layers of DA.
- Attend a Disciplined Agile (DA) presentation hosted by your chapter. Many PMI Chapters now have DA Champions who can either give a DA presentation themselves or invite a DA partner to give a great presentation.
- Take a 8 module online workshop. Our self-paced, online workshop the Basics of Disciplined Agile takes a scenario-based approach to teaching you fundamental DA concepts and how to apply them. Better yet, you'll earn 10 technical PDUs doing so.
- Attend certification training. Training partners around the world are now offering 2, 3, and 4-day workshops to prepare people to certify in Disciplined Agile. You can find training here.
- Read a book. The book Choose Your WoW! provides a comprehensive overview of the Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) portion of the DA toolkit, the DA mindset, and Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI). At 400 pages this book is a key reference for any agile software development team.

Thanks for the summary Scott.
And between option 2 and 3, many of us DA partners are happy to deliver webinars to Chapter members providing a slightly deeper dive on the subject!

Pretty much something I've been looking into. This is timely!
Hello Scott- Could you please advise on how to get this ?
I have raised a similar question in DAC forum.
Attend a Disciplined Agile (DA) presentation hosted by your chapter. Many PMI Chapters now have DA Champions who can either give a DA presentation themselves or invite a DA partner to give a great presentation.
