AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW:
It is critical to note that agile is not a methodology, but an approach that can utilize a variety of methodologies. Agile uses organizational models based on people, collaboration, and shared values. The Agile Manifesto outlines the primary tenets of the agile philosophy. It uses rolling wave planning, iterative and incremental delivery, rapid and flexible response to change, and open communication between teams, stakeholders, and customers. Examples of agile methodologies include SCRUM, XP, Lean, and Test-Driven Development.
Worldwide, agile project management methods are being embraced by more and more organizations. PMI survey data reveal that most hiring managers think a certification in agile project management would be valuable to their firms. Moreover, practitioners believe that agile certification would be beneficial to their careers.

PMI - ACP CERTIFICATION:
The PMI-ACP, an agile certification, was developed to help project management practitioners thrive in the challenges of globally-distributed teams, shifting requirements, and the need for rapid responses. This PMI-ACP certification recognizes knowledge of agile principles and practices across agile methodologies (including Scrum, Lean, Kanban, etc.), not simply limiting a practitioner to one agile approach. The certification can be used in a variety of roles, and any member of an agile team may be eligible to apply. It is also important to note that it can be used in a variety of projects and industries, not just in IT.
This global certification also supports individuals in meeting the needs of organizations that rely on project practitioners to apply a diversity of methods to their project management. It specifically validates a practitioner’s ability to understand and apply agile principles and practices.
Lastly, the PMI-ACP does not require PMI’s PMP certification as a prerequisite.
