Hey folks,

I know PMP now includes Agile and hybrid approaches, but doesn’t require deep Agile experience.

Can anyone speak to how Agile is tested in the exam? Does it go deep into frameworks like Scrum/Kanban, or is it more about principles and high-level application?

Thomas:

The application Is for "project management" in a broad sense. It does not require any specific methodology, just experience.

I cannot speak to the application of agile on the exam as I took mine in 2019 when it was mostly waterfall methodology with a few iterative method questions.

Thomas,

The application never asked me specifically if I did Agile Project Management. On the test, it is more general theory than direct questions about Agile. Nothing directly gives a question away as being an Agile question.
