With more and more projects going Agile, is it only a matter of time before there are more PMI-ACP certified individuals in the same calendar year than the PMP? Saving Changes...
PMI-ACP is increasingly gaining popularity for it's adaptability in unpredictable circumstances. But I guess it will take another couple of years before it surpass PMP certifications in a year.

Thanks Najam, I think it might take a little longer than that, but there is the real potential for that to occur.

Only time will tell :)
It seems as though when it comes to 'Agile', scrum 'ish certifications garner the most recognition and market value. The PMI-ACP will certainly increase in value and recognition, but it will be some time for it to overtake PMP.
For instance, we always denote as PMI-ACP, while conversely, just PMP. That in itself, says something.

Andrew yes we are very Scrumish ;-) I always wondered why they didn't just name it the ACP instead of PMI-ACP.

It looks like the Agile community is growing and has begun to heavily implement Agile methodology at a rapid pace to execute projects in a dynamic environment. So, obviously the PMI-ACPs are highly valued and I think in a matter of time their demand will increase in the project management community.
Or, will we see agile delivery becoming so ubiquitous that at some point there is not need for a distinct agile credential and the PMP will be the one credential to rule them all?

Kiron, a very distinct possibility. I have also thought this. But the biggest reason why this may not happen is because of the previous certified PMI-ACP's. It does make you wonder though since they are both essentially project management certifications.

Kiron, I had thought the same, though, hmm, maybe revenue wise that would not be a good decision. In theory though... Saving Changes...
