New Agile Certified Product Manager Exam & Self-Study Course

We have TWO announcements to share with you.

FIRST, we are excited to announce that we are supporting a new AIPMM worldwide industry standard agile product management certification. Six companies in all are supporting the standard (with several more announcing support shortly) and will be delivering training and certification exams. Joining with the 280 Group to support the new standard are AIPMM, of Reno, Nevada, Technobrands of Canada, Lucrum Marketing of Austin, TX, Brainmates of Australia and PLM Associates of Los Angeles, CA. All partners have licensed the materials and will be delivering the courses in-person and online throughout the world. Training materials are being licensed to interested product management training and consulting firms for a low fee to encourage adoption and support of the international standard. Further announcements of support from other highly regarded firms are expected shortly.

The exam, offered by AIPMM, tests for a thorough understanding of basic and advanced strategic and tactical concepts in agile product management. It ensures that those who pass the exam fully understand agile product management and are able to apply the concepts immediately to be more effective in their jobs. Topics covered in the exam range from basic to advanced and include multiple types of agile development (Scrum, XP, Lean), release management & planning, documentation, organizing around agile, launches, roadmapping, distributed/larger teams and integrating agile within a traditional product process. The exam may be taken remotely from anywhere in the world, so product managers who previously did not have access to certifications may now become certified.
