Description:
PMI announced huge news that the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition is going Agile in the press release for the exposure draft and noted that the key changes include:

More detailed information on Agile and other Iterative practices.
Information about Agile in adaptive environments in every Knowledge Area section.
Updating The Standard for Project Management for Agile and Iterative practices.

Given the unparalleled success of the PMI-ACP® as the fastest growing certification in PMI history and its recent landmark of more than 10,000 certificate holders it is imperative that professional Project Managers master the fundamentals of Agile.

 

PMI has validated the importance of Agile in settings beyond software development and the PMI-ACP® heralds Agile becoming standard practice at Fortune 2000 companies, large public entities, and military commands.

This is an opportunity for you to achieve clarity about if, when, and how you should use Agile! This energized, activity-based experience includes lots of time for Q&A in a true “immersion” experience.
