Three of the 497 questions in this pack
Question 1
A newly formed development team experienced difficulty with accurately estimating product backlog items. As a result, the team failed to deliver all of the features in the sprint backlog for the past two iterations.
What should the team do to improve the accuracy of their estimates?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Discuss estimating techniques in the daily scrum meeting
Estimation accuracy improves when the developers who own the estimates talk openly about how they estimate and learn from what happened. A new team that missed its forecast twice should raise the problem as a team, compare how items were sized, and agree on a better technique such as relative sizing with reference stories or planning poker. Surfacing the concern when the team synchronizes, and following up in a short conversation among the developers, keeps the fix inside the team and builds shared understanding. The other choices change constraints or create pressure without improving how the team actually estimates.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Shrinking the sprint until the backlog fits hides the estimating problem and breaks the stable cadence needed to learn velocity.
- C. Adding people until the work fits disrupts the team and does nothing to make its estimates more accurate.
- D. Tying estimates to performance evaluation encourages padded, defensive estimates and erodes trust and transparency.
Question 2
Midway through a sprint, the scrum master identifies that reassigning a certain task could help the team meet its sprint's goals.
What should the scrum master do next?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Have the sprint proceed as planned
In Scrum the developers own the sprint backlog and decide among themselves who works on which task. A scrum master who steps in midway through a sprint to rearrange task assignments takes over a decision that belongs to the team and weakens its self-management. The servant-leader response is to let the sprint proceed as planned and trust the developers to inspect their progress toward the sprint goal at the daily scrum, where they adapt their own plan whenever they see the need. The scrum master supports that process rather than steering task allocation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Declaring the sprint goal at risk and drafting an alternative plan oversteps the scrum master role and creates alarm without cause.
- B. Seeking buy-in for changes the scrum master has already chosen is directing the team's work rather than serving it.
- D. Prompting the team to rule on a specific reassignment still has the scrum master initiating task allocation, which the developers manage for themselves.
Question 3
During the iteration planning of a newly onboarded agile team, the product owner adds a set of high priority user stories into the iteration backlog.
What should the team do first to define the tasks needed to implement the user stories?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Self-organize
Once the product owner has placed the priority stories into the iteration backlog, the developers self-organize to work out how the stories will be delivered. They break each story into tasks together, discuss approach and dependencies, and let members pull work according to skills and capacity. Self-organization is the agile expectation for a team at any stage, including a newly formed one, and it builds shared ownership of the iteration plan. No outside party assigns tasks, and the planning meeting already has the people it needs.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Assigning tasks to each person is command and control and replaces the team pulling work collectively.
- C. Clarifying needs comes through the product owner in refinement and planning, and it is not the first step in defining tasks.
- D. The scrum master role is established before planning, and identifying it does nothing to define the tasks.

What makes the PMI-ACP hard
The PMI-ACP now runs on a new exam content outline, and the old framework-trivia style has gone. The current exam is situational judgement from start to finish.
Across mindset, leadership, product and delivery, nearly every question describes a team in a situation and asks what the agile practitioner does next. The wrong options are things a reasonable manager might do; the right one is what a servant leader does. The mechanics of Scrum, Kanban, XP and lean still matter (WIP limits, burn charts, story slicing, retrospective patterns), but they appear inside scenarios rather than as definitions.
The weighting is close to even: mindset and delivery are 28% each, leadership 25% and product 19%, so no domain is small enough to skip. With 120 questions in three hours it is one of the longest agile exams around, and at PMI's price a retake is expensive.
About the exam
The PMI-ACP validates applied agile expertise across frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, Lean and XP. Eligibility requires 2 years of agile experience plus 21 hours of agile training under PMI's application rules. The certification is valid for three years and maintained with 30 PDUs.

Esme Knox –
Agile is practical, but the exam is theory-heavy. The study material had well-explained topics. I passed ACP after some focused preparation. Glad I spent time on it.

Thank you sir

Forget long, drawn-out video courses and confusing documentation. Certstash cuts straight to the chase. It provides the exact questions and answers you will see. I spent a weekend memorizing this material and passed effortlessly. Why make it harder than it has to be? This is the most efficient study method available.
