If you're attending the Global Conference and have taken the ACP exam, I would like to chat with you. Sign up for a time or just stop by as I will be "hanging out" here during the conference.
Why am I interested in talking to you if you have an ACP cert? I have a couple of reasons:
1) I mentor some aspiring project managers and would like to be able to set their expectations for the exam and to share stories from people what have the cert.
2) After PMBOK 6 and the Agile Addition, I am curious if you felt the exam covered the agile knowledge with the 10 PMBOK Guide Knowledge areas.
3) Do you have any study tips for future ACPers? Your personal experience is a story waiting to be heard (Agile pun intended).
4) Has your career changed after getting the cert?
5) Can you still tell me what the CRACK acronym represents?
In closing, I am interested in talking to you whether you have the cert or not. I figure information I can get from Cert holders, I can share with Cert seekers. I'm hoping to be able to create stories for this blog to recognize achievement and to inspire our professionals to grow! INVEST in your profession ;)

I completed my PMI-ACP in 2012. Since then I have been utilizing my knowledge in my projects. I also taught few sessions through our chapter. Unfortunately, I will not be in global conference. Here is what I found about CRACK.
In the book Balancing Agility and Discipline: A Guide for the Perplexed Barry Boehm and Richard Turner coined the acronym CRACK which describes the properties of a good Product Owner.
Collaborative: Works well with development team and stakeholders. Is present within the team.
Representative: Has a good understanding of the product vision and is able to represent the stakeholder.
Authorized: Is empowered to make decision.
Committed: Shares the development team and stakeholder goals.
Knowledgeable: Understands and is experienced in the specific domain to guide the project to success
