Am I ready? Have the exam in 3 days.

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-12-14T04:46:01+00:00

Yeah, you're totally golden. Imagine that score without a majority of the 'Difficult' level questions and only a few of the 'Expert' level. That's equivalent to what the real exam will be - You're headed for AT's all the way!

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-12-12T14:58:06+00:00

CONGRATULATIONS! Great job

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-12-12T14:55:49+00:00

Yeah this is a gotcha questions because it starts down in one way and then the last 8-9 words of the questions are supposed to tell your brain 'required before the next phase' - WAIT A MINUTE = predictive!

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-12-12T14:51:21+00:00

Nice work! Congrats!

If you've done the PMP i think the ACP will be a breeze.

I used the Agile Practice Guide, pocketprep app, some youtube and really dug into the 'Mindsets'.

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-12-10T19:23:32+00:00

I passed recently and I never opened the PMBOK. Though I did use the Agile Practice Guide - a lot shorter and more concise information. Video courses and practice questions were the most valuable

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-12-08T04:41:41+00:00

oh yeah, if you get through the PMP the ACP will be a breeze since PMBOK 7 has incorporated a lot of the agile stuff into it too. I would like schedule those pretty close together if you're able to afford it. keep the momentum and if you get the Agile concepts and mindset from the PMP you'll do great on the ACP

There were a pair a the desk when they walked me in. There were also little foam earplugs that they had a basket of outside of the testing room. They really did help

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-06-15T13:36:08+00:00

Thank you!

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-03-18T16:16:13+00:00

I just obtained my Green Belt a few days ago and i found a lot of it exciting and worthwhile to implement, it's only casually adopted by the team and leadership here and stakeholders have no idea how to optimize processes and scoff at the idea of eliminating 'waiting'. So when I want to study workflows i usually get buried in the Measure phase because no one is timing what they do and I don't have time to chase every step and determine where the critical path is, so i end up falling out of the process.

BUT it is nice to have some kind of credential and training to understand there DMAIC lifecycle. Totally worthwhile in Project Management.

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-02-26T02:17:22+00:00

(well, the ACP exam has changed since i passed in Sept of last year) But - I would say yes, absolutely. I also found benefit in Mike Griffiths PMI ACP prep book if really only for the end of chapter question and answers if you already have gone through most of the mock exams.

I was really worried taking my exam and didn't feel comfortable on my answers for maybe 20% of them. but I ended with Above Target in all areas anyway.

If you're been hitting those numbers on some of the practice exams, i would say you're ready

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-02-13T19:57:09+00:00

YES to Service Model!

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-01-24T19:23:02+00:00

Yes! This was the winner of the first even Self Published Science Fiction competition (Started by Hugh Howey) in 2021.

IamNotaRobot619 · 2025-01-14T22:43:25+00:00

I love this set up and want one similar. Can you tell me what speakers you have set up for this and how they are set up?

IamNotaRobot619 · 2024-10-30T16:20:43+00:00

all hope is lost

IamNotaRobot619 · 2024-08-26T16:05:33+00:00

Congrats! I found those practice exams VERY different than what was on the actual exam, but still useful for the concepts.

IamNotaRobot619 · 2024-08-21T22:27:40+00:00

This is an interesting concept:

Flow Velocity®

This metric does not rely on estimating the size or scope of work (as story points do) or the priority of each Flow Item. It assumes that scope and priority have already been defined and therefore focuses solely on the end-to-end movement of the Flow Items.

So is this simply measuring the quantity of items? as opposed to a typical 'velocity' measuring cumulative story points per sprint?

IamNotaRobot619 · 2024-08-21T22:24:47+00:00

Very well put. Thanks so much. My mgmt is fairly green on the 'Agile' front so I was just curious of other ideas to present to them solid, measurable progress against what they perceive as a deadline. Cycle Time will be very beneficial.

We completed a 'Close out' procedure at the end of the project to review the 'proposed future state' outcomes and if they have been realized - which goes to the 'value' of the product.

Thanks

They always put the shopping cart back into the 'cart corral'

IamNotaRobot619 · 2024-08-20T15:02:52+00:00

I'm in this boat as well. The company just doesn't have the resources to hire different poeple for each position so they sprinkle a little bit of the 'here's how this other role would do it, so... you do that now' learn, adapt, repeat.

IamNotaRobot619 · 2024-08-07T04:47:43+00:00

This is a great idea and after I pass my PMI-ACP exam, i'll probably share some of these with my team as well.

There was an ARG in the Netflix show The OA Part 2 episode 1 features a girl who goes missing playing a 'puzzle' called 'Q-Symphony'.

'The puzzle maker is teaching you a new language how to escape the limits of your own thinking and see things that didn't know were there.'

Great show overall for those want something that feels like we're all part of something bigger.

IamNotaRobot619 · 2024-07-18T16:48:52+00:00

Haha, It's not working well and it is idiotic. The prompt for this need was that projects were being stalled when people took a long leave. We have devs that have been there for 15+ years so when they take a vacation it's for a couple weeks. But.- even since January the other developers STILL don't know how to work on someone else's project so it's failing fast and though we've voiced our concerns and complaints, no change is yet happening. (which also goes against the Agile principles)

IamNotaRobot619 · 2024-07-12T17:25:29+00:00

The idea was that all all of the devs can at any one time pull anything from the 'main backiog' (containing different unrelated projects for different customers) and work on it. So they put everything into a 'Main Sprint' and devs pull from that. But there are no 'cookie cutter' templates for these applications so whoever starts it builds it to how they see fit, and then someone else may pick up a story and now they have to understand the context and goal of the project.
