Should PMI offer a Scrum and Kanban certification?

Scrum is the most popular framework for delivering Agile projects. Kanban is perhaps the most flexible. Should PMI create certifications for these two very popular frameworks?

I am actually sruprised PMI do not have a Cost & Estimation Certification like PMI-ECP or PMI-CEP which stands for Cost & Estimation Professional.

I will pose this as a question.

Kiron, take it easy on the SP side :D

I am currently studying for the SP and to be honest, I really think it is a great certification to pursue for so many different reasons esepially if you work in project controls like we do. For example, in the gulf region, it is highly reputable and required.

The issue with this and why I believe you find lower number of certified candidates is because they have a solid competition which is the PSP. I know a lot of people PSP Certified.

Good call, Rami - my exposure is in North America and I've never seen the SP referenced here so good to know it's in demand in other parts of the world!

Thanks Kiron.

In North America and specifically Canada, I noticed that not many employers even request PMP but it is changing day by day.

I'm sure it has to be extremely relevant for the construction industry.
