Nuts About Agile, But Are You Certifiable? Certification Organizations and Their Benefits
Join us for a panel discussion on the on Agile certification organizations and their benefits.
We have lined up speakers who can represent each of the three main organizations that offer Agile training and certification programs. We have asked them to present a summary to describe each of the following organizations, and the benefits that certification offers:
* Scrum Alliance: Certified ScrumMaster, Product Owner, Scrum Practitioner etc.
* Scrum.org: Professional ScrumMaster, etc.
* Project Management Institute (PMI): Agile Certified Practitioner
The experts on our moderated panel will then address questions from the audience. This has been a controversial topic in the Agile community which has seen a lot of change and progress in the last few years so we anticipate an interesting and informative program.
