It's newer so less well known, but if a cert is to mean anything at all then I think PSM is more meaningful.

OT
For some unknown reason if I type the word imbecile into my iPhone it auto corrects it to I'm agile...
Make of that what you will
£100 for a cert to tell people you can run an agile project seems reasonable although I'm not sure id want to tell people that I organise chaos for a living

Originally posted by woohoo View PostWell know one else has replied and I don't know anything about this at all, so I'm going to suggest you pay $100 for another 2 years. It comes out of your corp tax, so who cares.

Those nice folks at the scrum alliance want $100 to renew my certification for another 2 years. I have never performed the Scrum Master role, although I have worked exclusively as a developer on Agile projects ever since. I am erring along the lines of not bothering as to me it seems purely like a money making exercise. They require no proof that I have indeed been performing a Scrum Master role since then. My other certifications (including Java 2 certified programmer which I got back in 2004) have no such time restriction.
What do others think, worth $100 for another 2 years or not bother as its a waste of money?
