PMIï¿½ Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)ï¿½ Boot Camp

Today, more organizations and companies are adopting the Agile approach over a more traditional waterfall methodology, and more are working every day to make the transition.

To stay relevant in the competitive, professional world, it’s increasingly important that professionals can demonstrate true leadership ability on today’s software projects. The Project Management Institute’s Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) certification clearly illustrates to colleagues, organizations or even potential employers that you’re ready and able to lead in this new age of product development, management and delivery.

This PMI-ACP training course provides a proven combination of class learning and testing that prepares students for some of the most difficult of testing situations. Questions are designed to allow you to learn through practice so that you will be able to apply what you have learned for the exam.

The International Consortium for Agile has worked with experts around the world to develop an education roadmap of training and certification for all specialties involved in Agile development. This course has been approved and earns all students the ICAgile Certified Professional designation upon completion of the course.

Acceptance Testing for Quality Success

Formal acceptance testing-that is, the project phase when stakeholders validate the work that has been done-is one of the final, and often pivotal, steps in any project. Delivering on time and within budget is meaningless if your stakeholders don’t accept what you deliver. In this short course, you’ll learn the importance of establishing acceptance testing plans, policies, metrics, and processes.

Managing High-Risk Projects

Project management is a risky business and high-risk projects require special attention. The key to successful risk management is to understand the potential project risks that exist and have a plan in place for controlling them. In this short course, you will learn about the characteristics of high-risk projects and cover basic techniques for identifying, assessing, and managing your project’s risks.

Agile Testing

In this course, you will learn how an Agile testing approach enhances delivery speed and improves overall quality. Learning the goals of Agile will help you transition, implement, and monitor testing in an Agile environment and integrate traditional testing skills and knowledge into Agile development teams.

Building on traditional risk-based test practice, we are now challenged by incremental delivery. To address but not inhibit Agility, we examine concepts like pair testing and strengthening relationships in a team setting to build a sense of common purpose. Working in parallel with developers eliminates hand-offs and late stage testing, and enables incremental confirmed component delivery. This program builds on what we know, and adapts to what we need, which is Agile delivery. Agile testing opens new areas of opportunity to build strength in product quality, process improvement, and test confidence.

When implementing changes in methods and approaches, we may slide back into old test habits, or leave methods behind rather than transition from them. We may throw everything away and do a wholesale replacement without appreciating what really needs to change. Most testing practices work, but only within appropriate development contexts. This program will contrast traditional against Agile testing, highlighting what changes we must make to apply the best testing principles in the new role that we will play. Agile testing is not a separate service, but an integrated part of the development team.
