Overview
The Agile Certified Practitioner Preparation Training is currently being updated to reflect the latest changes in the PMI-ACP® exam. The newly enhanced training will be available starting January 2025, providing you with the most up-to-date tools, techniques, and knowledge to excel in your certification journey and lead successful Agile projects. Stay tuned for further updates as we prepare to launch this improved learning experience.
Today’s highly changing environment and the constant demand to stay current with innovative technologies makes it imperative to find a new and better way of doing things. The frustration with heavy methodologies that didn’t work and the strive for a lightweight model of project management and product delivery led to the appearance of Agile – a new style of work, and a new mindset.
This training is also a solid preparation for the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master® I (PSM I®) and Professional Scrum Product Owner ™ (PSPO) certification exams.
