Disciplined Agile Value Stream Consultant (DAVSC)

Do you want to accelerate value delivery at scale by moving beyond individual teams and applying Disciplined Agile^® across your organization?

Disciplined Agile Value Stream Consultant (DAVSC) folds practices from Flow, Lean, the Theory of Constraints, and Organizational Development into Disciplined Agile to give you the tools to optimize enterprise-wide value streams.

Filled with collaborative activities, supplemental reading and more, this 21 PDU instructor-led course goes beyond a single framework by teaching you the mindset, practices and tools to reduce waste and focus on what matters.

This course is taught using the official PMI-provided course materials and all participants will have access to write the online PMI DAVSC certification exam for 30 days following the completion of the course. There is no extra fee for this exam: it is included in the cost of the course registration.
