PMI-ACP Certification Preparation Guide

This PMI-ACP Certification Preparation Guide is based on my own experience in preparing for and acing the exam. I am a PMP certified project manager, working in the project management field for more than 15 years. I have recently earned my PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner), and Professional Scrum Master certificates. Filling the certificate and passing the exam wasn't easy, so I thought there is value in documenting my experience and offering it for others.

The guide covers details about how I filled the application and documented my experience, how I studied, and lists all the resources and references I used as I studied and practiced for the exam. I also included in it a suggested study plan that you can tailor to meet your time constraints.

The guide has 17 pages, and I include screen shots of 14 pages in the thumbnails - limit allowed by Gumroad. This way you can check the content before you buy, and make sure it has some value for you.

Please note that this is not an exam preparation guide and is not a study guide.

PMI- ACP is one of the many certifications that PMI (Project Management Institute) offers, which shows that you have knowledge of agile principles, and that you have already applied some of these principles. It covers many approaches to agile such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, extreme programming (XP), and test-driven development (TDD).
