PMI is launching an Agile Certification
Dear PMI Members and Certification Holders:
You may have noticed more discussion in the marketplace from practitioners
who are investigating or have already started applying Agile principles to
their practice of project management. PMI is supporting this development
with the launch of an Agile Certification <http://www.pmi.org/Agile. >.aspx
*Demand Is Growing for Applying Agile Practices in Project Management *
Many project professionals are seeing the demand for Agile practices in
project management, thus are eager to gain Agile techniques to apply on the
job. Similarly, organizations that utilize project management to serve both
internal and external clients are seeing value in Agile methods to deliver
projects for these clients more quickly.
*Organizations Are Embracing Agile as a Tool*
Organizations who use Agile techniques in managing projects have documented
the value they see from its practice:
- Early and continuous customer feedback— as the customer is involved
throughout development, they will end up with an end-product that they want
and will use.
- High visibility and influence over the project progress leading to
early indications of problems.
- Early measurable return on investment—this allows for defined
deliverables at the end of each iteration and early in the process.
*PMI is Supporting Important Developments in Project Management by Launching
the Agile Certification
* PMI regularly surveys project practitioners to further understand how they
practice project management. One key statistic that came out of our latest
Pulse of the Profession survey is that standardized project management
practices result in better project performance.
One of the practices that PMI has monitored over the last several years is
the continuing growth and usage of Agile practices in project management.
Many practitioners have added Agile to their "Project Management Toolbox"
and use it as one of many techniques in managing successful projects.
As a result, more organizations and project management offices are asking
their project managers to apply Agile techniques. In fact, PMI research
revealed that 68% of the organizations using Agile practices would find
value in an Agile certification for project management practitioners. In
addition, 63% of hiring managers would encourage their project managers to
pursue an Agile certification.
*Who Should Pursue the PMI Agile Certification?*
Practitioners who are using Agile practices in their projects, or whose
organizations are adopting Agile approaches to project management, are good
candidates for the PMI Agile Certification. By earning the Agile
certification, practitioners can:
- Demonstrate to employers their level of professionalism in Agile
practices of project management
- Increase their professional versatility in both project management
tools and techniques
- Show they have the capacity to lead basic Agile project teams by
holding a certification that is more credible than existing training-only or
exam-only based offerings
PMI serves the project management profession by providing practitioners with
a toolbox of select tools and techniques—and Agile is one of those tools.
For example, those who have the PMP® and are working in an organization that
is using Agile techniques, the Agile Certification provides an applicable
knowledge base of Agile principles and concepts.
*Key Dates for the Agile Certification Launch*
- *May 2011* – Candidates for the Agile certification will be able to
submit an application for the pilot.
- *August 2011 *– Pilot testing is scheduled to begin.
