What is the PMI-ACP? The Agile Certified Professional

PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) is PMI’s certification for Agile Practitioners. They designed it to demonstrate deep knowledge of Agile principles and methods. So, What is the PMI-ACP?

Syllabus
The PMI-ACP has a very broad Agile syllabus, covering 7 Domains and a large range of Agile tools.
Domain I. Agile Principles and Mindset
Domain II. Value-Driven Delivery
Domain III. Stakeholder Engagement

Plus knowledge of a range of Agile tools for:
• Analysis and Design
• Estimation
• Communications
• Interpersonal skills

• Value-based prioritization

Which Agile Methodology?
The PMI-ACP spans many approaches to agile such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, extreme programming (XP) and test-driven development (TDD.)

Prerequisites
• Secondary degree, high-school diploma or local equivalent
• 21 contact hours of training in agile practices
• 12 months of general project experience within the last 5 years. A current PMP® or PgMP® will satisfy this requirement but is not required to apply for the PMI-ACP.

A while back, I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager. They responded magnificently. I compiled their answers into a Kit list.

The PMI offers a fair number of certifications. Yet most think of it mainly for the PMP and maybe the CAPM. I've done videos on both, by the way. So, let's look at the PMI-ACP - a worthy companion to two industry-leading certifications.

It's a great video, but please whiten your teeth.
