We are often asked how Disciplined Agile (DA) and PMI-ACP fit together and whether DA is meant to replace PMI-ACP. Fair enough. So I thought I would write this short blog to help clear the air. Here are the key points:
- PMI-ACP isn't going away. The PMI-ACP program has been very successful, so of course we're keeping it.
- DA and PMI-ACP fit well together. We will release an updated agile certification roadmap towards the end of August that makes this very clear. We're currently finalizing our testing of the strategy out in the marketplace and will publicly release it very soon. Stay tuned here for a detailed announcement.
- The PMI-ACP certification will evolve over time. At some point it would be reasonable to see the ACP certification explicitly include the advanced agile and lean concepts that DA encompasses. Don't worry, we'll let you know about any changes to the PMI-ACP certification long before they happen, just as we do with other certifications.
- PMI-ACP and DA are running in parallel right now. The two programs each have their own schedules. When and if we decide to merge them in some way we will make that clear to everyone.
- We're working together. The DA team is working with many teams within PMI to bring you world-class offerings, including the ACP team.
In summary, you don't have anything to worry about and it's only getting better.
Update: We now have an Agile Certifications landing page that explains the program.

Hi Scott,
We are waiting for the update from PMI. I was preparing for PMI-ACP and now this has hit my mind. As only one week left for this month to end. Our fingers crossed for the new change notification.

We have been releasing details first to training and services partners so that they can get up to speed. Next round after that is to Chapter leadership, including DA Champions within the chapters, and then on September 21 to the public.
Thanks for the update Scott. Eagerly waiting for September 21.
Great post, THANKS Scott! AGREE that ACP and DA are complimentary, should continue, and evolve TOGETHER!
"Great news" Now it becomes clear, We will move forward.

Thanks for including this!
This is an area with a lot of confusion and difficult to identify the target customer.
As part of the journey published, I’m hoping that a little clarity will be included in terms of the target audience for each.
Any news for the Next round @ 21 Sep?

I am very curious on if the ACP-DA certification strategy has been shared, our milestone was Sep 21 ;)
Looking forward to look into it.
