It is offered by the Project Management Institute (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/certifications\/types\/agile-acp\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">PMI<\/a><\/span>). PMI-ACP certification is intended for the project management professionals who are using agile methodologies and practices in their projects or planning to move to the agile. PMI-ACP certification recognizes and validates that the candidate has real-world experience of working on agile projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">It also demonstrates the knowledge and skills of the candidate about various subdomains of agile such as Kanban, Scrum, Lean, and others. The candidates who achieve the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner certification have to earn 30 professional development units (PDUs) every year to renew their PMI-ACP certification.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Scrum_Alliance_Certified_Scrum_MasterCertified_Scrum_Product_Owner_Certified_Scrum_Developer\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">2.

The candidate needs to attend a training program to achieve this certification. For Certified Scrum Master (SCM) and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), the training is for 2 days, while Certified Scrum Developer (CSD) involves 5 days training.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Scrum_Alliance_Certified_Scrum_Professional\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">3. Scrum Alliance (Certified Scrum Professional) <\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The Certified Scrum Professional certification offered by Scrum Alliance is a professional level certification. It is one of the top agile certifications (also, top project management certifications). This certification recognizes and demonstrates the ability of the candidate in advanced practices, artefacts, roles, and procedures of the Scrum Framework. One doesn\u2019t need to join any training for the Certified Scrum Professional certification.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Scrumorg_Professional_Scrum_Master_Professional_Scrum_Product_Owner_Professional_Scrum_Developer-I\"><\/span><span class=\"s2\">4.

The candidates who have more than 5 years of experience in software development, testing, project management, business analysis or scrum. In this course, the candidate gets detailed information about Lean-Agile leadership principles and how to launch SAFe in agile. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">A SAFe Agilist also knows how to maintain and release value-added software continuously for continuous development.

One important point to note is the majority of the certifications are Scrum based. Reason for that is very simple. Scrum is the most used form of agile.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even after knowing all the particulars above certifications, the dilemma is which one to choose. Let\u2019s have a clear picture of the same.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/choose-agile.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/choose-agile.png\" alt=\"How to choose agile certifications?\" width=\"594\" height=\"115\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We feel it\u2019s a three-step approach. Anyone looking to gain knowledge about agile should start from the basics of Agile\/Scrum. Once basics are developed, advance knowledge should be developed. Scaling is the third step as this is about scaling agile competency at organization level which is definitely the final step.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Let\u2019s relate this three-step approach to the certifications we compared in the last section:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/agile-list.png\" alt=\"agile-list\" width=\"598\" height=\"144\" \/><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Let\u2019s discuss each step of this 3-step approach in detail \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Knowledge\"><\/span>Basic Knowledge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Scrum Alliance and Scrum.org offer three certifications for three different roles in scrum i.e. Scrum Master, Product Owner and developer are the basics which one can target to start with.<\/li>\n<li>CSM\/CSPO\/CSD is definitely easier to crack than PSM\/PSPO\/PSD I certifications but the knowledge gained in CSM is also important. As Scrum alliance mandate training for CSM\/CSPO\/CSD, it gives good exposure to the basics of Scrum. Though scrum.org has the foundation and advanced courses for PSM\/PSPO\/PSD, it\u2019s not mandated and from knowledge parse, professionals until mandated generally don\u2019t go for it.<\/li>\n<li>Both these certificates cover the high-level basics of Agile and focus more on scrum. Out of these two CSM is more popular in the market. Definitely, the objective of certification is met if professionals get benefits out of it. Also, PSM being little harder than CSM makes CSM even more approachable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advanced_Knowledge\"><\/span>Advanced Knowledge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>After basics, its time to take a little deep dive approach. Definitely, if you are CSM\/CSPO\/CSD, you will go for the next step in scrum alliance provided CSP. However, the spectrum of knowledge given by PMI-ACP is not comparable.<\/li>\n<li>CSP doesn\u2019t mandate any training, it just needs some Scrum Education units to apply for certification. Though the application tests the knowledge, it\u2019s not tested. No test is there for CSP.<\/li>\n<li>PMI-ACP is hard from entry to exit i.e. its prerequisites itself is a little tough. It ensures and expects prior agile experience and project management experience along with training PDUs. Exam as well covers a wide spectrum of agile flavors and not only limited to Scrum. It covers Lean, Kanban, XP, TDD etc. which gives more in-depth of agile overall. The exam is conducted in a closed\/secure environment like any other PMI certification. That\u2019s the reason why PMI-ACP holds a lot of value and gained credibility in the market.<\/li>\n<li>There are advanced certifications by Scrum.org as level II and III for PSM\/PSPO as well which can be targeted for but again that is the only scrum based and becomes even harder as compared to the level I of it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scaled_Agile\"><\/span>Scaled Agile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>This is something different from normal agile knowledge. This we can refer to a special skill at which is required for executives, managers and Agile change agents responsible for leading a Lean\/Agile change initiative in a large software enterprise. This is required for those executives who have already implemented agile at a small scale in the organization and now aspire for taking it to the next scaled framework level.<\/li>\n<li>SAFe SA certification validates knowledge in applying the Scaled Agile Framework, lean, and product development flow principles in an enterprise context so they can lead to the adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Conclusion<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are many more certifications available in the market in addition to the five that we discussed above. Professionals have to make a wise call based on what they are looking for. If the target is to get benefits in career or changing a job, PMI-ACP &amp;CSM has more market value and popularity. If the target is to gain pure knowledge PSM-I is best to start with then going higher in its levels. So, choose an Agile certification as per your career path and requirement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TRY NOW<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/pmi-acp-certification-preparation-with-agile-practices\/acp-free-test\/\" rel=\"follow\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">120 Free Practice Questions for PMI-ACP Exam<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/pmi-acp-certification-preparation-with-agile-practices\/acp-practice-tests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener follow noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><strong>600 Practice Questions for PMI-ACP Exam<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/pmi-acp-certification-preparation-with-agile-practices\/acp-online-course\/\" rel=\"follow\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">PMI-ACP Self-Study Course<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/professional-scrum-master-i\/practice-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Scrum Practice Test<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/pmi-acp\/practice-tests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>PMI-ACP Practice Exam<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have any questions about Agile certifications?
