Is a PMP required to take the PMI-ACP exam?
No. PMI certifications are independent of each other. The prerequisites for PMI-ACP application include:
- Secondary degree
- 21 contact hours of training in agile practices
- 12 months of general project experience within the last 5 years. A current PMP® or PgMP® will satisfy this requirement but is not required to apply for the PMI-ACP.
- 8 months of agile project experience within the last 3 years
Note: Participants who have learned and owned PMP will have more advantages when learning PMI-ACP.
