PMI-ACP Prep

Hello Patrick, I have just taken PMI-ACP exam and done with it successfully. I use the study material from IzenBridge created by Saket Bansal. That is really very helpful and self sufficient. You can also refer the success stories from Izen Bridge Forum which will take you half a way itself. And with the dedicated preparation for a month from the given material will give a good success in PMI_ACP as per my experience of it.

A couple of additional tips:

1. Answer questions from the point-of-view of an agile lead/Scrum Master
2. You have to know the Manifesto values & principles very well as a lot of scenario questions will test whether you adopt the agile mindset
3. Most of the practice questions were based on Scrum. There were a (very) few tied to Lean, Kanban and XP.

Thanks for the suggestion Tayo!

The new Agile Practice Guide covers lots of the content tested on the PMI-ACP exam but does not address everything on the PMI-ACP Exam Content Outline. So, I recommend you use study materials designed around the PMI-ACP Exam Content Outline.

By all means use the Agile Practice Guide as supplemental reading, in the guide we discuss many familiar agile topics from a different perspective. However, remember it also contains content (such as hybrid approaches) that will not be tested on the PMI-ACP exam.

So, is it useful and relevant? – Yes. Should you use it as a study guide? – No, because it does not cover all you need to know and also covers things not in the exam.
