Event Description: 

Research demonstrates the value that agile can have in decreasing product defects, improving team productivity, and increasing delivery of business value. The PMI-ACP®️ is positioned to recognize and validate knowledge of this important approach.

For teams to be agile, significantly different leadership and management skillset is in demand that is vastly different from the regular Project Managers to truly achieve success. As a project manager, you can’t simply assign work to everyone and expect ownership of delivery. Instead, one needs to be a strong coach, a change agent, and a very effective communicator. PMI has embraced Agile for the last decade, recognizing the significant positive results it has had on delivery, ownership, and better results for customers.
