PMI-ACP Exam Tip: Create a Project Plan for Your Studies
The material covered by the PMI-ACP Exam is extensive, detailed, and spread throughout
many sources of reference material. This is not an
examination you can “cram” for in a couple of weekends or
simply rely upon your experience in order to pass. The best
way to conduct your studies for successfully passing the exam
is to treat it like a project and create a project plan.
Like any project, your study plan has project constraints that
you will have to manage in order to be successful. First of all,
you need to determine your project budget by determining how
much you have to spend on training and materials to prepare
to sit for the PMI-ACP Exam. Although the best study plan will
include a combination of written, audio-visual and live training,
this will all be dependent on your budget. Using a combination
of a PMI-ACP Exam Prep Study Guide and a series of
podcasts, such as the Agile PrepCast can be just as effective
as attending a live class.
The second consideration for your study plan is your schedule and time constraints. If you
are currently working full time then you may only have an hour or two per day that you can
use to study, so your study plan schedule may encompass a few months. On the other
hand, if you are working part time or are ‘in transition’ then you may have up to 40 hours a
week to dedicate to your studies, which will shorten your study schedule. The important
thing to remember in terms of your study schedule is to be realistic with the time you
‘actually’ have available so that you do not sabotage your chances for success.
Although we have only touched on two of the six project constraints in this tip, you should
also consider the other constraints of scope, quality, resources and risk when creating your
PMI-ACP study plan. By treating your study plan as one of the most important projects you
will ever execute you will help to ensure a successful end to your PMI-ACP certification
journey.
