PMI unveils online Basics of Disciplined AgileTM Toolkit course

The Professional Management Institute (PMI) has announced the launch of its latest online course, Basics of Disciplined AgileTM Toolkit. The eight-module, self-paced online course helps practitioners get started with Disciplined AgileTM practice. Each module immerses agile practitioners in real-life scenarios that illustrate context-driven options to optimize a team's Way of Working (WoW). The modules allow practitioners to see how teams, in a variety of industries and situations, use the Disciplined AgileTM Toolkit to make better decisions and achieve better results. According to Managing Director, Dr. Srini Srinivasan, due to the paradigm shift in the style of working, the business environment has become more complex. It is imperative for businesses and professionals to address these business complexities with the most suitable approaches to achieve better results. "Our Disciplined AgileTM toolkit helps businesses choose the right agile approach for any given situation as it optimizes various practices to help organizations create a customized way of working. PMI's focus is on enabling people to be able to execute on their objectives and deliver more value." Said Sunil Prashara, President & CEO of PMI, “Agile approaches and the Agile Mindset are an important part of the toolkit for project managers and change-makers across the globe. Choosing the right approach is becoming ever more important in turning ideas into a reality.”

After completing this course, practitioners will be able to describe what business agility is and how it is core to the value proposition of Disciplined Agile. In addition, Disciplined Agile is a hybrid tool kit that extends and improves on techniques such as Scrum and Kanban and applies a guided continuous improvement (GCI) strategy to evolve the WoW to become more effective over time. “There is no one size fits all approach to apply agile approaches to projects and product initiatives. That's why Disciplined Agile provides guidance on what strategy to use in any situation to increase your chance of success,” said Vice President, Mark Lines. “No matter where you are starting from a certification perspective, the new Basics of Disciplined Agile Toolkit course will help you understand at a high level how Disciplined Agile can help you build a stronger foundation of business agility.”
