PMI ACP Certification

Agile

Geeta Kavathekar Cupertino, Ca, United States

I was interested in the PMI ACP certification. In reading up on the application process I need to have 1500 hours of only agile project team or agile methodology experience. In the role that I am in at my company our team does not use Agile. So I was wondering if you might have any suggestions on how I could obtain the 1500 hours of only agile project team or agile methodology experience?

Most of my staff telecommute a few days a week. By moving the Kanban activity to Team Foundation Server Agile template, we plan to conduct the daily scrum meetings virtually with Webex. At some point the overall project plans will be in Microsoft Project and tie into TFS.

I'm impressed / cross linkage between TFS and MS Project. Also, any experience using SharePoint to build light weight rapid prototyping models?

Hey Sergio, I agree with you, totally. My supervisors are telling our dev team who is in Department of Technology Services to start going Agile, but not with the rest of the divisions for Dept of Economic Security involved. Several of us have said that we need to have all customers on board too. If we try to force Agile down our customers' throats it will further drive a wedge in an already adversarial relationship. People have already tried and failed in our organization 3 times from what I've heard. It's quite possible this iteration will fail. But at least I will get some experience out of it... State government is just sooo big... I had no idea before I got this job!

34 years with State of Ga. Retired 10 years and have contracted many of these public sector (CDC) and regulated industries -- utilities Ga. Power and Bell South/AT&T -- I have seen how government functions (local, state, national, and heavily regulated industries) all add up to about 30% of the total USA economy. Few people really realize how truly interconnected all components of our economy are, yet we all benefit, frequently in ways we rarely recognize.

I would also suggest you volunteer with your local PMI Chapter to gain experience.

A pretty common glide path is to start with a seed team. Is your company interested in an experiment? The fun thing is that with a dedicated team, allowed to focus on the agile task alone, teams usually do very well. Bringing on the next teams is the challenge :)
