PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)
Multi-approach agile credential from PMI
PMI Agile Certified Practitioner spans Scrum, Lean, Kanban, and other agile approaches, offering a wider, framework-neutral view than Scrum.org's leadership-focused assessment.
Who it suits
Suits agile team leads, project managers, and coaches who work across Scrum and other methods and want a broad agile credential recognized in PMI-oriented organizations. Check PMI's eligibility rules first.
Key differences
- It is framework-neutral and covers several agile approaches, while Scrum.org's credential concentrates on Scrum-based agile leadership and empiricism.
- It is aimed at experienced agile practitioners and involves PMI's experience-based eligibility, unlike an assessment you can sit directly.
- It sits in the PMI ecosystem, which suits project and program management career paths more than product-led agile organizations.
- It has less emphasis on organizational design and evidence-based management than the Scrum.org option.
