Preparation for the PMI-ACP® exam 
The PMI® Agile Certified Practitioner® certification recognizes your knowledge of Agile principles, practices and tools and techniques across Agile methodologies, a rapidly growing approach to any project management. Agile is a time boxed, iterative approach to project delivery that builds project incrementally from the start, instead of trying to deliver it all at once near the end.
An Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP)® Certification by the Project Management Institute (PMI)®
- Demonstrates to employers the level of professionalism in agile practices, tools and techniques;
- Increases professional versatility in agile techniques;
- Holds a certification that is more credible than existing entry-level, training or exam-only based offerings.
