Course Details
Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP)
Agile project management consists of the family of iterative development frameworks like XP, SCRUM & others. Agile project management is ideal for projects, where requirements are highly volatile (evolving), or technology is very new to the team, or both. While it is a right fit for product development, it is not limited to that alone. It is beneficial for any creative work like web-based application development, architecting phase of a civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing project, research projects etc. Even world bank sponsored programs have successfully deployed agile project management, yielding them better results than water fall.
