In my Country PMP is the most recognized certification regarding Project Management.However PMP-RMP has been growing significantly. It could be become most valuable in a few years.
However it is important let you know that if you have a PMI certificacion you will be higher recognized in project management industry. No matter if it is CAPM, PMP, PMP-RPM, PMP-SP, etc.

I believe all PMI certifications are very valuable. I would suggest that you ask yourself, which certification do you want to pursue?
I agree with Shirley, when she states that the important point here is whatever PMI certification you choose. It will be very valuable. At the end it depends on your path of interest. Always remember that a certification is important, but its even more important that you feel passionate with the certification you are studying and the knowledge you will acquire. Knowledge is priceless.
This is just my two cents of advice.

Hi Daniel,
I would have to agree that your question is too general for us to provide good feedback.
If you are a business analyst, then a PMP and/or PMI-PBA would be good, but if you are a systems administrator, the PMI certifications won't be as useful as a Redhat or Microsoft Cert.

@ Rosalinda Bernabe; your suggestion on Portfolio Management and risk v/s Schedule looks very logical...new view for me...thanks...! Saving Changes...
Bot are of equal weightage but I would grade PMI-RMP to be a bit more technical and more in demand than PMI-SP. Saving Changes...

To answer this question, you must first define "value." Who is the entity that determines the value of something? Something that is more valuable to you as an enrichment goal may not be as valueable to your organization and vice versa. When you define value, you must ask yourself if you''re referring purely to monetary value of future jobs (e.g., which one pays more?), are you referring to the technical value within your organization (e.g., is managing risk on your company''s strategic plan?), and so on.
As a life goal, only you can answer that. Perhaps you enjoy the tactical nature of schedule development more than the strategic nature of risk management. Do what you love. You shouldn''t hate your job; if you enjoy risk management, then RMP is more valuable to you.
For your organization, take the time to understand your company''s strategic goals and objectives, it''s mission statement, and so on. If it publishes an annual report, read that and try to determine where the organization sees itself going. Maybe it puts more weight on mitigating risk (often the case in the financial sectors). Ask your leadership or build a relationship with other leaders within the organization so that you may discuss these topics with them. And this answer may differ from your own personal values. If your organization values risk management more than schedule, but you personally value schedule more, then you have a decision to make.
Value is in the eye of the beholder and it truly means something different to everyone. Try not to make these decisions soley based on the current demands in the marketplace or dreams of making more money. Instead, think about where you want to be and whichever certification helps you get there is going to be more valuable. Saving Changes...
