Learn about and discuss the newest Agile certification from the PMI, The PMI ACP

About the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner Certification:

The PMI has recently announced that they will be offering a new Certification for Agile Project Managers. The certification will validate a PM’s experience and mastery of the agile principals and processes. An Agile certified practitioner will have the knowledge of both Agile and Waterfall practices and is able to lead teams on Agile projects. By holding this Agile Practitioner Certification, which is more credible than other agile certifications out there, a practitioner can verify their agile expertise to companies looking to adopt the agile methodology.

Our Agile Project Management experts want to help eligible Project Managers succeed in this certification, by creating an interactive course that prepares Project Managers for the Agile Certified Practitioner exam.
