I think the other thing a lot of people don’t point out is that while their might be a “renewal fee” for csm or PMP etc etc. I’ve never once seen someone say “hey when did you get certified” you just put it on your resume. Now you may not be able to use the designation? But no one cares if your cert is active or not.
@matthoffman6962, Thank you for your comment and pointing out an often overlooked aspect of certification renewals. You're correct that once you earn a certification, you have demonstrated that you met the standards at that point in time, and it can be listed on your resume accordingly. However, the concept of renewal, particularly for certifications like CSM or PMP, is designed to encourage ongoing professional development and staying up to date with changes in the field. It's worth mentioning that while some employers may not verify the current status of your certification, others might do so, particularly in competitive or highly regulated industries. The risk of having an outdated or inactive certification could potentially question the credibility of a candidate in some situations. Another perspective is that maintaining an active certification can show a commitment to continuous learning and staying abreast of changes and advancements in the field. This could potentially provide an edge in some professional contexts. That said, every individual's situation is unique, and the value of maintaining an active certification can vary based on one's career goals, industry standards, and employer expectations. Your perspective adds an important nuance to the discussion, and we appreciate you sharing it.
Thanks Kristine.. appreciate this.. it was a quick one which may help me and my team in the decision making .. I guess PSM is slightly tougher but will be better in the longer run..
Thanks Kristine for this transparent and informative video. Just a feedback: If you add which one is in demand or which one employers/organizations prefer, it will be more helpful. But anyway, Thanks! Love from Kolkata. :)
Dear Soumyarup, thank you for your feedback! Yes, we can see that many people are interested in that question. To answer to that question, in general, CSM is more popular. In fact, based on google trends and job searches via indeed, CSM is more popular than PSM in the US. But, PSM is a more difficult certification to get; and, for that reason, many people think PSM is more meaningful.
@ManishMahanti , Great to hear that you've decided to take the Professional Scrum Master (PSM) route! It's a rigorous certification that will certainly provide you with a deep understanding of the Scrum framework. Remember, the journey to mastering Scrum is one of continuous learning and practical application. Don't hesitate to share your experiences and insights as you progress through your Scrum journey. We're sure that your experiences will be valuable to our community. Good luck with your studies, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions or need further guidance. We're here to support you!
There is a big difference you are not highlighting - PSM is a certificate only, while CSM is a certification. And Scrum is not about exams, difficulties of exams. Scrum is a framework that's easy to understand but difficult to master. CSM helps pave the road to mastery. Scrum Alliance is a non-profit organization and the largest Scrum community. And Scrum Alliance has fantastic advanced programs, that require CSM as a pre-requisite to move further with learning.
Thank you for your insightful comment. You've raised some very valid points, and we appreciate your contribution to the discussion. Yes, there is indeed a distinction between the Certified Scrum Master (CSM) and the Professional Scrum Master (PSM) certifications in terms of their structure and processes. The CSM does incorporate more hands-on training and classroom sessions, while PSM focuses heavily on understanding the theory and applying it independently. You're absolutely right that Scrum is a framework that's easy to understand but difficult to master. Mastery of Scrum comes from practical application and experience, which is something that both CSM and PSM aim to achieve in their respective ways. The Scrum Alliance indeed does a fantastic job with its advanced programs and has a great community to support continuous learning. That being said, it is important to note that Scrum.org, the organization behind PSM, also offers advanced certifications and maintains a strong professional community. We agree with your point that CSM's prerequisites for advanced programs can guide a structured learning pathway, potentially facilitating a more gradual journey towards mastery. However, PSM is also recognized globally for its rigor and the depth of understanding it demands of Scrum principles. The ultimate choice between CSM and PSM may largely depend on an individual's learning style, professional requirements, and long-term goals. Thank you again for your input, which has certainly enriched this discussion.
