PMI-ACP

If you have experience using agile approaches, possess strong collaboration skills, thrive in complex environments, and respond quickly to change, your talents are in high demand.

Brought to you by the creators of the PMP®, the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® formally recognizes your knowledge of agile principles and your expertise with agile techniques. Earning this certification demonstrates to peers, employers, and stakeholders that your agile knowledge is both deep and practical.
