What is the benefit of ACP certification since the agile has become part of the PMP certification in the presence of the new changes?

ACP goes a bit deeper in common agile practices than the PMP questions are likely to. Also, while the PMP is normally focusing on someone in a project leadership role, the ACP can apply to a broader practitioner audience.

If you already have two years or more of agile leadership, I'd suggest looking at PMI's DASSM credential instead of the ACP.

I agree with Kiron’s first part of the response but as for the second part, I personally highly recommend taking PMI-ACP before DASSM as PMI-ACP will provide you with a great diverse knowledge in agile principles, concepts, frameworks and so on.

Disciplined Agile Senior Scrum Master - it is aimed at those in leadership positions and hence is a step above the profile of the ACP.
