Community Guide The Community Guide of the PMI-ACP is an initiative of the PMI Agile Community of Practice to provide ongoing support for the PMI-ACP agile certification. PMI Today recently highlighted the importance of community volunteers to create the certification, so it only follows that our community be the ones to mature it into the future. The current version of the Community Guide is based on the PMI Agile Certification Exam Content Outline.
AgileBOK There will be no Agile Body of Knowledge (AgileBOK) supported by PMI. PMI does not own, maintain, or support ANY web presence that lives outside of PMI.org. There is not, and never should be an authoritative standard for Agile. Having an AgileBOK would invite all PMI project managers to rigorously follow a standard and never adapt, tailor, or innovate their processes. This counters what we as Agilists stand and strive for.
Who it is for
The Community Guide is intended to be the authoritative source for all the stakeholders in the PMI-ACP ecosphere, including
• A study reference for those pursuing the PMI-ACP credential
• A training reference for REPs and trainers
• A technical reference for exam writers
What it covers
The Community Guide is a unique community resource, offering you
• Links to relevant PMI documents regarding the certification
• The original intent of the PMI-ACP creators for each topic on the exam
• The current community consensus on how each topic works on "most agile projects, most of the time"
