So you might have heard the rumor- and it’s true! Over time Project Management methodologies have had to adapt from the “Industrial Age” and enter the “Technology Age”. The whole reason PMI created the PMI-ACP Cert in the first place is because they want to meet the current goals of project managers and support all types of Project Management best practices. Having the skill set of Agile Project Management is considered to be one of the top five hottest skills right now in Project Management. In this week’s vblog, let Ashley Hunt tell you why the Project Management Institute Agile Certified Practitioner Certification Exam is as good for your marketability as it is a mouthful.[image_with_animation image_url=”17180″ alignment=”” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”]”Agile” is more of an umbrella statement over things like scrum, Windows XP, Lean, Kanban and/or feature driven development. So really, there a lot of different methodologies, frameworks, and best practices that fall under this header. Well PMI can’t pick only one to claim as “the best” so they put all of the best practices together in one exam. This being said, the exam will test you on best practices found in multiple agile environments. This is good! We want to have knowledge across multiple frameworks![image_with_animation image_url=”17186″ alignment=”” animation=”None” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”]Getting a certification use to be a symbol of understanding content and best practices. Today, it goes above and beyond that. Now, it’s having the ability to be able to shift from multiple modalities and different frameworks (aka being “agile”) and tailor that approach in order to produce the right thing correctly. The combo approach between waterfall and agile tailoring is the next big thing. It’s more necessary across all industries globally and not just for software! There is a greater need for multiple modalities on unique project specs.The combo approach between waterfall and agile tailoring is the next big thing.
