It's not a smorgasbord Reji. The certification you pursue next should be related to your career or interests, so you better than someone else would be in the best position to advise on what it might be.

My interest and passion is Project Management. Am looking for a new opportunity in a new country and am looking for a certification that gives me an edge over other candidates. In that respect do you have any recommendation.

With so many companies going Agile, the ACP may give you an edge or a Scum Master. Another option is the RMP. Risk Management is so important and could be a good compliment to your PMP.
These are just my thoughts. You need to think about what interests you most.

To go for RMP, you need 4500 hours of risk management experience.

I had the same question in my mind a few months back and I decided in favour of ACP, being a fast growing trend and demand.

Reji -

Why do you want a credential? What career path are you hoping to pursue, in what location, and in what domain?

If you don't answer these questions first and then focus your efforts based on those answers, just picking a credential because it looks popular is a waste of time & (a lot of) money.

Dear Reji,

Sharing my thoughts to guide you what I am looking forward Next. I am into delivering IT Services to internal users.

My next goal after PMI-PMP is PMI-ACP because my interest is to master skills to manage Teams and facilitate them to be more productive in a rapidly changing environment and Deliver best to all the stakeholders.

Most of suggestion given by my colleagues are valid and thought provoking. I will suggest you to consider your industry and see the future need of your organization and then in light of this you can choose your direction

I agree with Kiron on this.

Anyway congrats Reji on your PMP certification. Your experience in the specific domain is very important not just the certification.
