The more advanced Scrum Alliance courses are harder to get but are essentially designed to get more money out you.

Those I know who care about Agile seem to focus on the Scrum Alliance certificates - all of which expect experience as much as paper learning.

I recommend PMI-ACP for PMs.

PM Agile/SCRUM training and certification
Hola,
Having a few months off and thought it may be an idea to add some formal training/certification to the CV having worked in a supposed 'Agile environment' for the past year or so (it definitely wasn't ).
Interested in others thoughts as to what certification is most practical and marketable from a PM perspective as there does seem to be a wide range of options.
Initially looking at the APMG AgilePM certification and then spotted the Prince2 Agile option as well (I already have P2 Practitioner )
Then there's also various SCRUM certification available from scrum.org and others. PSM looks doable as home learning test at $150 for the PSM1 assessment.
Current thinking is I may jump on a AgilePM 4 day course with exam/certification and then follow on with SCRUM PSM1 under my own steam. So interested in others experiences and thoughts and some validation for my thinking?
Thanks in advanceTags: None
