The PMP is good to have in that PMs at larger companies (and in gov&#39;t) are often expected to have them. I think scrum / agile principles have a lot of value, but the people I&#39;ve seen with those certifications also don&#39;t get high value project assignments (I suspect there&#39;s a correlation). More often than not, I see them in our PMO.<br /><br />Hope this helps.

I&#39;ve had the PMP since 2004 and never have trouble getting a job. MSG Robert Prol Thu, 19 Jan 2017 12:40:03 -0500 2017-01-19T12:40:03-05:00 2017-01-18T23:06:57-05:00
