PMI-ACP® Exam Prep Course (Classroom)

business people stand excited

Research demonstrates the value that agile can have in decreasing product defects, improving team productivity, and increasing delivery of business value. The PMI-ACP® is positioned to recognize and validate knowledge of this important approach.

For teams to be agile, a significantly different leadership and management skill set is in demand that is vastly different from the regular Project Managers to truly achieve success. As a project manager, you can’t simply assign work to everyone and expect ownership of delivery. Instead, one needs to be a strong coach, a change agent, and a very effective communicator. PMI is now embracing Agile, recognizing the significant positive results it has had on delivering, ownership and better results for customers.
