About the PMI-ACP

What the PMI-ACP is and who it suits

The PMI-ACP recognises people who deliver work the agile way: planning in short cycles, working closely with the customer and helping a team get better at how it works. It is not tied to one framework, so questions move between Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming and scaled settings.

The exam rewards judgement over vocabulary. Most questions describe a team in a situation and ask what best serves the team, the customer and the flow of value. The simulator's questions are written the same way.

Who it suits

  • Agile team members
  • Scrum Masters and agile coaches
  • Product owners
  • Project managers moving to agile
