After exchange emails with our dear CEO Sunil about PMI-ACP i will risk do the following predictions:
1 - DA and PMI-ACP will be complementary certifications ( so PMI-ACP will in fact loose value and leverage DA through PMI-ACP)
2 - As DA as about 4000 members the strategy of PMI is try to influence the about 30000 PMI-ACP certificated members to adhere to Discipline Agile ( Business Strategy )
3 - In 2020 the methodologie of PM square will grow substantially, even more if the european commission become a mandatory certfication to be allowed to execute projects to the institution.
4 - Discipline Agile will not grow as expected.
5 - PMP certification will continue to increase the reputation.

This are just predictions not my whishes you are free to disagree, what are yours?

I am new to DA. It's interesting approach. I disagree that DAgilists claim to be the only true project management methodology.
The process life-cycle usually goes through infancy, growth&expansion, general acceptance. In my opinion, Agile is still going through growth phase, mainly because there are so many Agile methodologies. Eventually, they will converge OR as I claim; there will be one 'better' PM methodology for product/service type. For example, hybrid waterfall for construction, while Scrum for small software project, Kanban for small compliance, etc.
There is a saying by Agile sales that 'Everything Agile is great, and everything great is Agile' - should we all jump on bandwagon and replace Agile word with DA?

DA is NOT a PM methodology. It is a toolkit to help organizations improve value realization. DA knowledge could be applied to projects, operations, product development or many other contexts.

It also should not be seen as competing with Scrum, XP, Kanban, SAFe or any other methods or frameworks. One could adopt one or more of those while still aligning with DA principles, roles and lean governance milestones.

I do agree that the certification landscape has got muddier as a result of the acquisition and subsequent plans for new DA-specific certifications but am expecting that this will shakeout over the next year or so.

Kiron, but isn't what project management methodology should be? Not a hard-set-in-stone one method but rather a toolkit to create a valueable end product/service?
I don't do project to complete a project, I do them to deliver value. Some project methodologies deliver better value for different type of product/service. That's simple.
