Scrum Alliance Scrum Master Certification Renewal

[kal]

I tend to point that out just where people want to buy expensive kit through the company and think it doesn't cost them anything. £100 to keep your certs up to date is a no brainer to me.

Having thought about it and with the esteemed council of my learned fellow CUKers I am opening the padlock on my wallet and paying up tonight :-)

Are you a scrum master Lockhouse? If so its a no brainer, im an agile dev so while I have worked in scrum teams for a number of years I haven't done the SM role.

Yep, Scrum Master\Agile Coach. Amongst other things.

The PSM one is better in my opinion - the level 1 test is actually very hard for anyone without real agile/scrum experience.
It's newer so less well known, but if a cert is to mean anything at all then I think PSM is more meaningful.

I've got an Agile PM Cert but the next one for me is the CSP.

Have renewed for another 2 years, worked out to £60, I guess its worth it just so my CV gets past the usual pimp buzzword searches

To be pedantic do fit in with the keyword searches are you putting it in as "Certified ScrumMaster" or "Certified Scrum Master" (with a space)? The Scrum Web site and all documentation I've had can't seem to make its mind up which one it is. But if the Scrum Alliance don't know then I'd be surprised an agent would either.
