Along with PMP Certification study, I am also studying Agile from IBM Agile Academy, both gives lot of information on managing projects with more efficiency as you grow up, but both have different approaches, why ?

From my point of view there is in general no contradiction between PMBOK project framework and project management processes with agile practises. When you apply agility to a project it is mainly focused on the tactical working level to get work done with an agile mindset. You still have the strategic planning level and governance level where the PM project framework is still valid and needed. I do not know the IBM Agile Academy approach and cannot specifically comment on this approach.

I do not know about IBM Agile Academy. But do not be suprisse about different approaches. First of all, you need to understand what Agile really is. Is not software/IT related, is not a method, is not a process, did not start with the Manifesto. There are a lot of work in the new PMBOK Guide version in that sense that you can read. But my piece of adavice is to read about the history (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-agile-...title-publish), to find the deliverables of the site where Agile was born "formally": USA DoD NSF/Agility Forum (1990, I was part) of Mr. Rick Dove´s work named "Response Ability" which contains most of the Forum´s deliverables, or if you want read this short humble article I wrote from PM Network:"Perfectly Positioned", http://www.pmnetwork-digital.com/pmnetwork/april_2016?pg=73#pg73
