Description
Why PMI-ACP?As most projects nowadays are approached using Agile methodologies, everyone wants to practice Agile and be a certified Agile practitioner. But the World has also realized that "one size does not fit all", That's why PMI introduced "PMI-ACP" to help you perform a fit-gap analysis and use practices from various agile methodologies. The PMI-Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® is a well-recognized certification globally and is the only certification worldwide that encompasses the practices from various Agile methodologies like Scrum, Lean, Kanban, Extreme Programming (XP), and more.What Makes This Course Special?PMI recommends more than 10 books to read and more than 100 topics as a reference list to learn to get ready for the ACP exam. Most courses that we have seen talk about those topics in random order or in an order that hardly makes any sense. In this course, we spent a lot of time putting the topics in order that would easily make sense to everyone. Unlike many courses, we don't believe that Agile is just a project management methodology. Agile is a mindset that should be applied to both the project management and the product development life cycles. These concepts made it easy to put a solid outline of this course that would map to the project management life cycle recommended by PMI from Initiation to Planning, Execution, and Monitoring and Controlling and also to product development life cycle from requirements gathering to design, implementation and testing. And this is what we are to teach you in this course. This course is mapped to all domains in the PMI-ACP Exam Content Outline, including Agile Principles and Mindset, Value-Driven Delivery, Stakeholder Engagement, Team Performance, Adaptive Planning, Problem Detection and Resolution, and Continuous Improvement. This course is aligned with the updated PMI-ACP Exam Content Outline and the PMI Agile Practice Guide. We use various case studies, real life project examples & situations, and terminology to solidify understanding of how to answer behavioral-based PMI-ACP® exam questions. You will be required to solve a quiz at the end of each section in addition to a simulation exam at the end of this course.This course provides you with the 21 contact hours of agile project management education, required to apply for the PMI-ACP exam.What will The Students Learn In This Course?This course is designed for those planning to take the PMI-ACP Certification exam as well as those interested in learning more about Agile project management. This course is specifically designed with every practitioner in mind. The practical ability to use Agile techniques on projects, and during the exam;An understanding of key concepts, terms, and tools;Proven, expert exam-taking skills.Even if you're not planning to take the PMI-ACP exam soon, or if you haven't practiced Agile yet in your organization, still, this course is a great resource for everyone to learn and apply Agile best practices in your day to day job.So, if you are involved in Agile in any capacity, this certification is going to help you achieve new milestones in your career easily. Though previously Agile methodologies were associated with the IT industry, now it is finding applications in other industries and areas like electrical and electronics, product development, construction, and so on. This has further enhanced the value of the PMI-ACP certification. Take your career to a new level by joining the best PMI-ACP training course. Be trained by the best.Join our training today.
