Anthony, Mike Griffiths has a book on PMI-ACP Exam Prep, but it's also an excellent Agile reference that I still use today, it's very well written!

Another book I highly recommend is Blue Ocean Strategy. It teaches you how to move beyond the highly competitive "red ocean" and create new market space in the "blue ocean".

Two terrific resources that was able to get a hold of quickly. I never read either but I have seen references made to Blue Ocean Strategy here at the PMI website.

Good to know it aligns with the PMBOK, I have skimmed this book in the past. Looking into systems thinking and visualization. The book holds up today. The table of Contents has relevant information and a solid flow.
