What makes an agile team successful? According to the Project Management Institute, teams using agile principles are more likely to hit deadlines, adapt quickly, and keep stakeholders aligned from start to finish. The PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® certification is designed for professionals who apply agile across a number of methodologies—including Scrum, Kanban, XP, Lean, and hybrid approaches.
This PMI-ACP certification training course gives you the agile knowledge and exam prep tools to get certified and make an impact. The 3-day, instructor-led training course includes live instruction, a PMI-ACP exam prep course guide, mock exams, and six months of access to a digital training portal.
