PMI-ACP best Agile PM Cert? How to gain it?
Posted: Sat 19 Aug 2017 12:28 pm
Hi,
I gained my PRINCE2 foundation a couple of months ago and am hoping to have my PRINCE2 Practitioner cert in the next couple of months. I am now looking ahead beyond that at a possible Agile cert as things seem to be moving to Agile fast in the PM world, certainly where I work it is all about Agile and Prince2 is not mentioned much.
From a quick google I have noted that the PMI-ACP cert seems to be widely recognised, is this the Agile equivalent of PRINCE2 in terms of how desirable it is to have this? It is the most recognised or are there others that it would be better to have?
Aside from that question, how exactly would I go about aquiring the PMI-ACP certification? It seems that there are online courses that you can register on and are official 'PMI-ACP' accredited courses which means that you can prove to PMI that you completed the course in order to then sit the exam, is that right? also how would you book the exam? It's slightly confusing from a first look into it.
I much prefer to self study online so I'd be looking to that rather than classroom based training etc.
