I use my top 2 designations on my email signature, PMP and ACP. I note all of my certifications in my certification section of my resume. But there is not enough space for everything.

I agree it depends on your audience but you do need to be consistent. I use MAPM on my Linkedin along with other relevant qualifications such as MBA but not in my business card or autosignature as it can come across as being too much.

Sanjay -

Always start with WHY.

If you are not in a role where advertising your credentials helps to establish initial credibility or you are not actively looking for a new opportunity, there's little benefit in tacking a bunch of letters after your name.

I do it because as a PM trainer and consultant, I wouldn't want prospective clients to overlook me just because I didn't clearly indicate what designations I had attained.

As I actively work in projects I use it, but selectively as already pointed out by others.

...
It depends on the situation and the audience. Regardless, I never use all of the acronyms available to me. It starts to look pretentious or conceited. For example, what would you think if someone used the following email signature:

John Doe MBA, PMP, PgMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, CSPO, CTT+

There's nothing wrong with picking one or two, but they start to lose meaning, especially if you have more acronyms than letters in your name.
Keep it simple and easy! I hope to use 'PMP' provided I clear the exam.!!

I definitely use PMP following my name. It's a strong, hard-earned credential that should be celebrated!
