Course Overview

This training programme is aligned with the latest PMI guidelines and is designed to help you prepare for and pass your PMI-ACP exam in the first attempt. The course covers Agile methodologies, tools and techniques extensively and provides real-life scenarios throughout the course.

The course covers the seven domains in the same sequence as specified in the PMI exam content outline, including:

  • Agile Principles and Mindset
  • Value-Driven Delivery
  • Stakeholder Engagement
  • Team Performance
  • Adaptive Planning
  • Problem Detection and Resolution
  • Continuous Improvement

As stated on the PMI website, the use of Agile as an approach to managing projects has been increasing dramatically over the last several years. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2018, Agile development methods will be used on 80% of all software development projects. PMI's research has shown that the use of Agile has tripled from December 2008 to May 2011. Furthermore, 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 recognise and validate knowledge of this important approach.
