PMI - PMI-ACP®
If you use agile practices in your projects, or your organization is adopting agile approaches to project management, the PMI-ACP® certification may be right for you. The PMI-ACP recognizes knowledge of agile principles, practices and tools and techniques across agile methodologies.
Who should apply?
If you are working in organizations using agile, the PMI-ACP can provide an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of agile practices. The PMI-ACP is not limited to project managers as individuals with experience working on agile project teams can apply and experience requirements to obtain the PMI-ACP do not reflect the need to manage projects.
Practitioners who are seeking to:
]Demonstrate to employers their level of professionalism in agile practices, tools and techniques
]Increase their professional versatility in agile techniques
]Hold a certification that is more credible than existing entry-level, training or exam-only based offerings PMI-ACP Eligibility Overview
