Course Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re experienced using agile approaches, have good collaboration skills, eagerly embrace complexity and thrive on rapid response times, then your talents are in demand. The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP\u00ae)<\/sup> formally recognises your knowledge of agile principles and your skill with agile techniques. It will make you shine even brighter to your employers, stakeholders and peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PMI-ACP\u00ae<\/sup> spans many approaches to agile such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, extreme programming (XP) and test-driven development (TDD.) So it will increase your versatility, wherever your projects may take you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agile is a topic of growing importance in project management. The marketplace reflects this importance, as project management practitioners increasingly embrace agile as a technique for managing successful projects. The PMI-ACP\u00ae certification recognizes an individual\u2019s expertise in using agile practices in their projects, while demonstrating their increased professional versatility through agile tools and techniques. In addition, the PMI-ACP\u00ae certification carries a higher level of professional credibility as it requires a combination of agile training, experience working on agile projects, and examination on agile principles, practices, tools, and techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This global certification also supports individuals in meeting the needs of organisations that rely on project practitioners to apply a diversity of methods to their project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Target Audience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you work on agile teams or if your organisation is adopting agile practices, the PMI-ACP\u00ae is a good choice for you. Compared with other Agile certifications based solely on training and exams, the PMI-ACP\u00ae is evidence of your real-world, hands-on experience and skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-Requisite<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In line with the requirements set by PMI\u00ae, each participant will be issued a so-called student kit, which contains all the necessary materials for the participant to attend the training. The student kit includes a set of workbooks that the participants will use during the course. We will also provide a handout of all the presentation slides and a set of mock exam questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
