Pmi-acp Exam Prep: Rapid Learning to Pass the Pmi Agile Certified Practitioner Pmi-acp Exam - on Your First Try!: Premier Edition

I bought this book after working for a few years with Scrum and Kanban. The book is fantastic for those wanting an overview of agile project management. The book is well written, and covers the important parts of planning, estimating, executing, and delivering projects, and improving agile project management practices. If you're on an agile team, this book is excellent.I haven't taken the exam yet, but I know that I will have no problems passing it if I study the material and can answer the chapter review questions. You might also want to look at RMCs online prep, although I am using a different company. I recommend this book for all future ACPs. Good luck in your study and the exam!

Hats off to Mr. Griffith. What a well-designed, well-thought out book. It saved me hundreds of hours while preparing for PMI-ACP certification. It not only is a great book for the certification but is also is a great handy guide for day-to-day Agile practices at my workplace. I would highly recommend this book to all Agile Practitioners.

While opened and had a quick look gives the confident to clear the certification. Very nicely represented all the concepts , also this books gives free updated and extras access through RMC.

Awesome...good one

Excellent book. Exactly what is needed for the exam. The seller also delivered little earlier after request.

This book is an excellent resource to learn the basics of Agile and covers all the topics required to clear the PMI-ACP Exam

Very good book. Useful while working on agile also.

Good book for ACP aspirants

Das Buch hat mich gut und bequem durch die Zertifizierung gebracht. Keine spezifischen ACP-Schulungen (die eher selten stattfinden) nötig. Nur als Tip: am besten im Rahmen der Vorbereitungen zu ACP den Scrum Master (Scrum.Org) mitmachen. Ist im Vergleich zur ACP-Zertifizierung sehr einfach, und man erhält ein weiteres - vielleicht einmal nützliches - Zertifikat. Mit dem ACP-Wissen alleine lässt sich diese Zertifizierung dann allerdings nicht bestehen, da sie in eine etwas andere Richtung geht. Bei mir war sie ein Nebenprodukt der Kurse, die ich als Zulassungs-Voraussetzung für die ACP-Zertifizierung durchlaufen musste. Die Zertifizierung zum Scrum Master (zumindest ein einzelner Versuch) war gratis mit bei einem der beiden Kurse, die ich besucht habe.

Questo non è un libro sull'Agile, bensì un libro per preparare l'esame di certificazione.Il libro coniuga perfettamente sinteticità e completezza (con riferimento alle credenziali PMI-ACP).Nomina tutto ciò che è necessario per superare l'esame, approfondendo ogni argomento limitandosi al livello di dettaglio richiesto per l'esame: il resto è lasciato al lettore.Data la lunghezza non eccessiva (circa 350 pagine, con grandi figure), si possono fare buoni progressi anche leggendo 2-4 ore a weekend.L'autore è esperto e mai noioso. Consiglio caldamente di acquistare la SECOND EDITION, uscita nel 2015, visto che si allinea meglio con il nuovo esame.

I'm glad to have bought this book. It helped me study for the exam, but just as important I think it's great to have as a reference book since the author did a great job summarizing major Agile concepts from various sources. I'm glad to have it on my bookshelf. As a comparison I found another PMI-ACP exam prep book that I got from the library... although I got it to practice some of the mock exam questions the library book is no match to the quality, depth, and the presentation of this book by Mike.

Funny book. I recomend it, better than a weekend in Acapulco. The transport was perfect, one, two, three, four...words more.

Having cleared the ACP, I just dropped an email of thanks to RMCProject and Mike Griffith for the PMI-ACP Exam Prep. I believe this is the PMBOK equivalent for agile even if PMI does not recognize it as one (why don't they? I wonder).I highly encourage you to review the ACP Exam Content outline on the PMI website. The exam is 3 hours with 120 multiple choice questions. You cannot bluff through them, you must prepare and educate yourself. I have solid scrum experience and yet the exam preparation, specially helped by this book, has added a world of wisdom about agile. Just go through the Contents of the books, it is tailored exactly as you are tested on the exam.After spending a month with this book, looking up all the new concepts and techniques I've learnt on becoming a better scrum master and project manager, all I can say is hats off Mike Griffith/team. In a matter of weeks, I was familiar with what the exam would test me on. The language is simply beautiful, at times humorous, and deeply engaging. Its as if you are sharing project management with a friend over a cup of coffee and not preparing for a stressful exam.In a month, after detailed study of this book and referencing the various concepts in it with articles on the internet, I felt ready. So I enrolled in a three day prep class which helped me discuss the concepts further.The book offers the whole world of agile in a very compact valuable package. It is expensive however it is completely worth the investment if you are a) serious about taking your ACP exam, and, b) learning more about the world of agile and insightful project management practices.My only dissappointment was that this book offered only limited number of multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter (126 in total in the book) and didnt offer additional mock tests either in the book or online as part of the package. If you do not end up enrolling in a prep class, I would recommend purchasing a mock prep test online (Version One offers it).Goodluck!
