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 new Agile certification, and the choices for Agile certification can be confusing. This session takes a look at the Agile certifications, the relationships and differences between each certification, and how each certification is obtained. We will take a look at a complex certification landscape and lay it out in simplified terms to make it easy to navigate the complex world of Agile certifications.
