PMI – ACP : Agile Certification Practitioner Training

Agile management refers to an iterative, incremental method of managing the design and build activities of engineering, information technology and other business areas that aim to provide new product or service development in a highly flexible and interactive manner.

The Agile methodology is used in project management and it helps project makers to build software applications that are unpredictable in nature.
