About the course:
This course is built on official PMI materials, meets the certification training requirements, and is an integral part of preparation for the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP®) certification exam. The course program covers many approaches to agile, such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, extreme programming (XP), and test-driven development (TDD), which aim at enhancing versatility and readiness for challenges, regardless of the direction in which projects develop. It focuses not only on memorizing key concepts, principles, and tools required to pass the exam, but also on developing a deep understanding of them, which is more valuable and effective for both exam success and further improvement of professional practices. This understanding is achieved through practical and interactive exercises aimed at shaping and strengthening an Agile mindset, as well as mastering the values, principles, and practices of Agile project management.
The purpose of the PMI-ACP® exam is to assess the ability to think about and approach project tasks and situations through the lens of an agile mindset and its practices. It is not enough to simply know terms and definitions — it is essential to deeply understand the philosophy of agility, to be agile rather than merely apply agile practices.
