About PMI-ACP
Agile is a topic of growing importance in Project Management. The marketplace shows this trend, as Project Management Practitioners embrace Agile as a technique for managing successful projects. On account of this PMI is now offering Agile Project Management Certification.
The use of agile as an approach to managing projects has been increasing dramatically over the last several years. 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 recognize and validate knowledge of this important approach.
The combination of both agile and scrum leads to most effective functioning in your current job role as well as it will help your career to reach great heights in agile project management.
