The Agile Certification landscape can be quite complex. SCRUM.org, SCRUM Alliance, and the International Consortium for Agile all have multiple levels of Agile Certification. Combine that with the PMI’s Agile Certification pilot, the choices for Agile Certification can be confusing. This session takes a look at the Agile Certification, the relationship and differences between each certification, and how each certification is obtained. The complex world of Agile Certifications will be laid out in simplified terms to make it easy to navigate. Certifications to be discussed include:

SCRUM Alliance Certifications:

  • Certified SCRUM Master (CSM)
  • Certified SCRUM Product Owner (CSPO)
  • Certified SCRUM Developer (CSD)
  • Certified SCRUM Professional (CSP)
  • Certified SCRU Coach (CSC)
  • Certified SCRUM Training (CST)

SCRUM.ORG Certifications:

  • Professional SCRUM Master I & II
  • Professional Product Owner I & II
  • Professional SCRUM Developer

International Consortium for Agile Certifications:

  • Associate certification
  • Professional Certification (with 6 skill tracks)
  • Expert Certification

PMI Agile Certified Practitioner
