PMI-ACP Syllabus & Domain Map

Official-source-aligned PMI-ACP scope map with domains, topic order, and study priorities.

Use this page as the coverage map for PMI-ACP®. On PMExams, the guide is organized around PMI’s current official domain weighting table so your reading path matches the exam structure.

Current PMI-ACP domain weighting

  • Mindset: 28%
  • Leadership: 25%
  • Product: 19%
  • Delivery: 28%

Chapter map

  • Mindset covers agile principles, systems thinking, collaboration, transparency, and adaptive learning.
  • Leadership covers servant leadership, coaching, facilitation, shared vision, and conflict management.
  • Product covers backlog quality, slicing, visualization, increments, and value-based product thinking.
  • Delivery covers planning, flow, metrics, risk, quality, feedback loops, and continuous improvement.

How to study from the weighting

  • spend the most time in Mindset and Delivery, because they carry the largest share of the exam
  • treat Leadership as the judgment layer that often separates strong answers from framework memorization
  • use Product to sharpen backlog, value, and increment decisions so delivery choices stay outcome-focused
