The PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner)® certification is among the most highly respected certifications available in the Agile community.
The PMI-ACP® training is highly beneficial for scrum masters, product owners, program managers, and the overall leaders of agile programs.
Going with the rising belief that organizational leadership should be the most knowledgeable about organizational agile transformation at companies that are restructuring; CIOs, CEOs, and company presidents will all benefit from participating in this comprehensive agile training designed to maximize their effectiveness at their company.
The PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner)® from the Project Management Institute, is to the Agile community what the PMP is to the general project management community.
The PMI-ACP® course is much more comprehensive than the popular scrum master or product owner courses offered by most training companies.
The difference is that within the PMI-ACP® training curriculum, scrum master and product owner are only two among the many focus areas contained in the training.
This training addresses the whole agile landscape, including topic areas that are often overlooked in most agile curriculum including program management.
Unlike beginner level training available in classes like CSM or CSPO, this is intermediate level training, and while it is open to all participants, the certification test has prerequisites.
The PMI-ACP® spans many approaches to agile such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, Extreme Programming (XP) and test-driven development (TDD.) As a result it will increase your versatility, whatever road your projects may take you.

The online CAM (Comprehensive Agile Manager) certification training from Agilest® is provided for free to all of the registrants of this training program.
The prerequisites for attending the PMI-ACP® exam are:
2,000 hours of general project experience.

Innovating products in a large company can be painfully difficult, but with the right knowledge, the process can be incredibly rewarding.
AGILEST® can guide your company to be great at delivering products your customers will want. Agilest® believes that everyone needs training, but that the content should vary by role.
With needs in mind, we offer role specific training for Scrum masters, product owners, and Agile developers. But we do not stop there. Agilest® also offers three tiers of training: Core, Advanced, and Specialized.
Agilest® Core Training
The foundation training is role specific and is designed to set-up the organization for success with agile. Our training for each of the roles is deeper and more comprehensive than the training offered by most other organizations.
Our training is driven by real world need and is designed to give each team member an understanding of what their responsibilities are.
Agilest® Advanced Training
The Agilest® upper-level training is for teams that are already using agile. The upper-level training is designed to take teams to the next level of maturity.
Agilest® Specialized Training
Agilest® Specialized training provides advanced training for specific needs. Examples of specialized training include executive training for company leaders, agile automation, agile program management, agile scaling, and DevOps.
Agile Scaling
Most organizations have situations where a single team of 5 to 9 people is just not the right size for the work that they intend to complete. That problem is what scaling solves.
Agilest® can guide the use of scaling that is tailored specifically to the needs of your organization. We can guide you to a scaling framework that does what you need it to do and shave years off of the trial and error period that companies endure when they go it alone without experienced coaching.
Agile Transformation
Readiness Assessment
Agilest® starts every transformation with an assessment to first determine an organization’s readiness for improvement with agile.
Every organization has different challenges and with our expert assessment, we can design the most effective agile transformation plan to deliver the most improvement for every dollar you spend.
Define Strategy
Agilest® understands that companies in different industries and at different stages in their maturity lifecycle have different needs.
Not all organizations are best served by the use of agile methods at every level in their company. Knowing this, Agilest® does not have a one size fits all mentality about the way agile should be implemented.
Tailor implementation to the organizational structure.
Plan for governance updates needed to make Agile successful.
Develop a budgeting model that aligns with the corporation's accounting principals.
Effective Roadmaps Are A Result Of
combining the assessment data with the strategy aligned to the organizational structure
Give clarity to the scope of the transformation
Keeps the transformation aligned to the strategy
Helps the organization understand what progress has been made
Organizational Alignment
Changing from homegrown or traditional management practices to agile methods is a fundamental shift that requires adjustments to some of the core functions in the organization to maximize the benefits that can be achieved by an effectively implemented transformation.
Evolving the governance model
Adopting an agile budgeting model
Modernizing SOW delivery requirements to focus on value
Kaizen Maturity Plan
The competition is never at rest, and organizations that do not continue to strive to improve, risk being overtaken by the competitors that continually advance their processes.
Knowing this, Agilest® helps every organization that they transform to develop a center of practice to keep the changing energy alive and the company improving their practices using internal resources so that maturity continues to grow long after Agilest® has completed their part of the transformation process.
Delivering Pathways To Agile Bred Leadership
The Agilest® mission is to provide the latest agile thinking that has proven effectiveness for improving the efficacy of your company. We can show you what can be done to maximize your results.
Then we will deliver a plan to achieve the goals that you have for your company. Agilest® believes that the workforce is the heart of the organization and that their knowledge is the specific determinant of what they can contribute.
