I've maintained my PMP certification since 2011. Lately, my company has started to lean more towards agile methodolgies and as a result I feel it's time to jump in and get suitably certified. Would you recommend PMI-ACP in this regard or something different? Saving Changes...

My recommendation is going to for a certification related to agile that will be requested in the future. And mainly related to the method/framework that has been selected by your company. No matter that, just to comment, I am PMI-ACP certified. Adding to that I have other specific to the framework it is used in my company. Saving Changes...

Ellen, I personally did benefit a lot from going through the PMI-ACP journey. It's a good credential and I do highly recommend it as you will learn a lot about the different agile frameworks, principles, valueS and much more.
Another option to consider is the DASSM but I recommend you do so after your PMI-ACP. Saving Changes...
Do you have sufficient hands-on experience leading agile teams using a variety of different approaches (e.g. time boxed, continuous flow)? If so, then certainly a certification such as the PMI-ACP, DASSM or other non-framework focused one would be an asset.
I've gained so much from my experience with PMI-ACP, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you continue to pursue continuous learning. In an increasingly challenging and dynamic world, a solid understanding of Agile principles can be incredibly valuable. Saving Changes...
