 The Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®

certification was created by the Project Management
Institute to meet the needs of project managers who
have increasingly found themselves working with agile
methods, methodologies, practices, and techniques.
 And just like with the PMP certification, PMI has

constructed an exam based on real world tasks,
tools, and practices used by agile teams every day.
 The PMI-ACP exam is designed to reflect the

way teams work in the real world. It covers the
most common methods and methodologies,
including Scrum, XP, and Lean/Kanban. The
exam questions are based on knowledge and
real-world tasks that teams use every day.
