Anton OosthuizenSenior Business Analyst / Project Manager| Self EmployedPretoria, Gauteng, South Africa
If I have to be honest none of my certifications did anything for my career, it did do a lot for the companies I worked for since they would use your qualifications/certifications to proof that they are worthy of the job during a bid process. I guess it will be different from company to company. Some value development, other could not give a hoot. Why did I pursue it? Self development. Each one taught me something different but I've never used 95% of any book knowledge. Since you are an agile coach I would probably say that something like ACP or CSPO would be relevant to you for connecting to peers in your field. Saving Changes...

I would say PMP, but most importantly how you use it, how you create value among your circle being a PMP. However, these days with an age of transformation, ACP is also coming off age. So I reckon, if you are a PMP and ACP both, it gives you more edge and if you know how to use them, it will be an icing on the cake! Saving Changes...

PMP certification.
It is what basically PMI meant for.
It added values to my project management knowledge.

It gives us a lot of confidence to network professionally as well as socially. Saving Changes...
Undoubtedly, it's PMP. The curriculum helps to gain a deep understanding of the project management processes, knowledge areas and key documentation needs and the certification in my opinion holds a great value in industry when combined with the necessary experience. Saving Changes...
