I'm often asked how can someone learn about the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit.  There are several ways that you can do so:

  1. Watch a 2 minute video. We recently released a short video that summarizes key aspects of DA.    
  2. Read a 5 minute article. The article Introduction to Disciplined Agile is a short overview of the four layers of DA.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

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.
