    The Agile Skills You Will Master

    Across the Seven PMI-ACP Domains

    This PMI-ACP training builds practical agile capability across all four domains of the Examination Content Outline. By the end, you can apply Scrum, Kanban, Lean and XP practices to real delivery and lead value-driven agile teams with confidence.

    Agile Principles and Mindset

    Model the Agile Manifesto and its 12 principles, coach teams to challenge old practices, and build a safe, transparent environment that focuses on high-value work.

    Value-Driven Delivery

    Prioritise features using MoSCoW and the Kano model, plan a minimum viable product, and sequence work into iterations that deliver incremental, customer-facing value.

    Stakeholder Engagement

    Understand stakeholder needs with personas and empathy maps, facilitate agile ceremonies, and manage conflict so feedback loops stay embedded in delivery.

    Team Performance and Servant Leadership

    Build high-performing, self-organising teams using working agreements, a definition of done, and models such as Tuckman stages and Shu-Ha-Ri.

    Adaptive Planning and Estimation

    Size and sequence a backlog with story points and planning poker, and track progress with velocity, burndown and burnup charts and cumulative flow diagrams.
