PMI-ACP Agile Certification
Agile project management has recently drawn attention as a viable technique to delivering projects in an environment where there is uncertainty surrounding the product to be delivered, as well as, the processes to deliver that product. Project managers, therefore, are increasingly embracing agile methodologies and frameworks for managing successful projects.
