I am considering the PMI-PBA. I think that it would fit in nicely with the work that I do. In addition, I see the credential becoming more sought after in years to come.

Regardless of the various disciplines you pursue in your career, make sure you have a Masters -- MBA or MS or some other degree of higher learning.

Whatever you decide to do, your current position has to ADD to your resume. You have to be able to show a path of improvement for both the current/prospective employer as well as yourself. Become the best you can in what you are doing now which later you can use as a springboard to your next endeavor.

What you want to pursue next (whenever that be), should point you to what makes sense as far as another certification.
Great post, James. I couldn't agree more - a Masters degree is a must these days.

I feel the “next step” after PMP really depends on where each of us is headed. If someone is managing several projects, PgMP is a natural path. If their world is more agile, Scrum Master or SAFe might make sense. Others may choose leadership, business strategy, or even technology skills like data and AI. For me, it’s less about collecting more certificates and more about aligning learning with long-term career direction.
