@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 The risk of having an outdated or inactive certification could potentially question the credibility of a candidate in some situations.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.

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.

Thank you Darpan! We are glad that it was helpful.

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.

Thank you for your comment Brittany. You're very welcome!

Thank you for your comment! Based on google trends and job searches via indeed, CSM is more popular than PSM in the US. CSM is more well-known, yet, PSM is a more difficult certification to get; and, for that reason, many people think PSM is more meaningful.

@@Projectonomy Thanks for the reply. Would you happen to know the reason why CSM is more popular in the US when PSM is more meaningful?
