PMI-ACP Project Management Institute Agile Certified Practitioner Exam Study Guide 1st Edition

Very informative

In depth explanations in comparison to Agile Practice Guide

For those of you who are studying for the ACP exam, this book is great! J. Ashley does an exceptional job explaining the different frameworks and relates certain tasks to everyday, relatable tasks. Good study supplement!

Great Product

In addition to using this book in passing my PMI-ACP, I used the following books:1. PMI-ACP Agile Certified Practitioner All-in-One Exam Guide 1st EditionMcGraw Hill and Sybex-Wiley (publishers) have websites where you can retrieve study questions to help prepare. Unfortunately, it is only around 500 combined questions, which I don't find helpful. In my opinion, a person, after awhile, tends to inadvertently memorize the questions. At least that is how my brain works.Therefore, I also recommend the following website, PMTraining.com to help prepare for the PM-ACP along with the following book;1. Agile Practice Guide Paperback ideally in pdf format or kindle as the reviews (on Amazon) regarding ability to read as book are poor.Its a 3 month paid subscription which gives over 900 questions. In my opinion the subscription is worth it as I passed the PMI-ACP on my first try using all three study materials. That said, I would only start the subscription when you are serious and 2-3 months out at taking the exam. Otherwise you may be wasting your time.

I passed PMI-ACP exam today and this was my primary textbook. I also studied Joseph Phillips' online course at Udemy in order to report 21 contact hours required by PMI. I would recommend reading the PMI Agile Practice Guide at least once, although Ashley Hunt's textbook already covered most of the required topics.At the last minute, I purchased a $99 exam simulator (480 questions, 90 days access) to practice how to manage the exam time with realistic/much harder questions and to boost confidence. During the actual exam I took a washroom break at the 1.5hr mark with 80 questions answered, then came back fresh to finish the remaining 40 questions.I believe my experience in taking the CSM, PSM I, and PSPO I exams also helped in my preparations for PMI-ACP.

Fairly good orep book, but too much emphasis on questions that would never be on a PMI exam.

I don’t know how the other person passed. I read the book but it didn’t help me a whole lot. The exam was 100% scenarios. The book has some scenarios but nowhere near enough. I was trying to avoid buying the pmbok but it seems that PMI makes it almost a must.
