Agile Certification Exam Prep (Webinar Series)

Series of four 2-hour webinars delivered on four consecutive Fridays.

*** Includes preparation for the new PMI Agile-Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) exam and the Certified Agile Project Manager exam ***

As more and more companies adopt agile project management techniques, there is a need to clearly identify project managers who are capable of applying these methodologies. Both the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the Project Management Association of Canada (PMAC) have developed agile certifications designed to provide agile practitioners with the credentials companies are looking for.


This 4x 2-hour webinar series provides a review of both the PMI and PMAC agile certification procedures, a
review of the topics covered within the exams, sample exam questions, important studying tips, and additional resources recommended to complete your exam preparation.

Learn to:

  • describe the two agile certifications along with their certification requirements and procedures.
  • list the major topic areas being assessed during the exams.
  • describe the fundamentals of several agile methodologies including Scrum, Extreme Programming, and Feature-Driven Development.
  • estimate a team’s starting velocity using several techniques.
  • describe and build release plans, iteration plans, and day plans.
  • explain tracking and control techniques such as kanban, burndown charts, parking lot reports, and velocity.
  • identify areas where additional study may be required, and where to find the required study resources.

Participants should already have formal training in agile methods.  This would include introductory courses in agile project management, certified scrum master training, and similar courses.


Both certification exams require a minimum of 21 hours of agile training before writing. This webinar series counts towards 8 of those required 21 hours (you will receive 8 Professional Development Units, PDUs, upon completion).

NOTE: This webinar series has been accredited by PMAC, as meeting its standards and fulfilling the education requirements to write the Certification Agile Project Management exam.
