For the techies in here, a question about scrum qualifications.


In my job I sometimes act as scrum master, and sometimes as scrum product owner. I’d like to get the certificate to go with my role.


Which one do you think has more professional value? Personally, I think product owner is more aligned to overall business needs, but recruiters and higher managerial hierarchies removed from the technical day-to-day seem to be more in awe of the term ‘scrum master’. They have heard of scrum master but not of scrum product owner.


Doing both is not a financial option at the moment, but I’d like to start with one.


Thoughts?

I think it depends where you want to take your career. Doing a Scrum Master qualification will take you down that route (and allied PM disciplines) where a Product Owner qualification is more likely to take you in a Product Management direction.


As for businesses recognising Scrum Master more it is probably down to them practicing a Wagile model where they’ve rebadged the PM as a scrum master and don’t have recognisable product ownership or backlog grooming/prioritisation. Some red flags to avoid!


Qualification wise, in addition to the standard Scrum certifications; Leading SAFe is a good one to look at, as is the PMI Agile PM. I’d also push for your work to fund it.

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.
