Why do people learn ACP after PMP?
Whenever something big happens, there will be more up roaring with the crowd and less careful thinking
Whenever there is a crisis, there are more people focus on risks rather than opportunities
A crisis will make us truly feel the end of an era and the beginning of another era
Project management development in the era of drastic change
In order to maximize the use of disruptive technologies, project professionals must embrace artificial intelligence and other “game-changing” tools to empower the future.
Facts have proved that it is not enough for project professionals to control the triple constraints of time, scope, and cost. According to this year’s Pulse of the Profession, an average of 11.4% of global investment is wasted due to poor project performance. Organizations that underestimate the strategic role of project management in driving change have, on average, more than 67% of their projects fail.
So how to improve the management of the project? According to the data of Pulse of the Profession, most organizations attach almost the same importance to leadership development as technical project management skills. In the changing era, it is imperative to improve project management ability.
Ability improvement of Project Manager = PMP + ACP
Bimodal management can realize a series of flexible methods in value delivery, such as predictive, iterative, incremental, agile, and hybrid.
1. Facing the environment: PMP resource environment is relatively certain + ACP innovative and rapidly changing environment
2. How to implement: What does PMP do (ten areas of knowledge) + how to do ACP (methodology)
81% of companies in mainland China currently adopt agile project management
This figure is worthy of the attention of the majority of practitioners: it shows that the rapid
development of agile, and get more and more applications.

What is ACP?
ACP refers to agile practitioners.
1. Learning content: method practice in accordance with agile principles and values
