Participants in this course should meet the test eligibility requirements:
• General Project Experience:
o 2,000 hours working on project teams (hours must be earned within the past 5 years; active PMP® or PgMP® satisfies this requirement).
• Agile Project Experience:
o 1,500 working on agile project teams or with agile methodologies (hours must be earned within the past 3 years and are in addition to the 2,000 hours of general project experience).
• Training in Agile Practices:
o 21 contact hours (hours must be earned in agile practices; this course satisfies all 21 contact hours).
While not a prerequisite for this course, participants would find it extremely helpful to have taken an agile fundamentals course.
The PMI-ACP® Certification Preparation course will thoroughly prepare agile practitioners to sit for and pass the PMI-ACP® exam through instructor-led presentations, class discussions, games, exercises, and practice exams.

The results dramatically realigned the department’s efforts with the organization’s business objectives and resulted in the highest rate of technical deliverables in the organization’s history.
Other projects have included things ranging from proprietary software migration to new office space and, more recently, project-related work around online training platforms and process.

Her energy, enthusiasm and rapport with students create a lively and interactive learning experience, whether through teaching, mentoring, or consulting.
