Agile has made the leap and is now mainstream. The reality is, once something becomes mainstream, hiring needs to happen. When this happens, hiring managers need a baseline to judge applicants. In comes certification. The agile certification market has grown extensively over the last two years with both large and small organizations entering the market place.

In this one hour web seminar ASPE will discuss what the components are for a traditional certification program, one that will gain respect and recognition. From there we will discuss the value of certifications from an employer prospective and an employee prospective.

The reality is they are not mutually exclusive. They will also detail the top Agile certification in the market place and give details on steps to achieve each certification, including thought on the best certification based on needs.

You will Learn:

1. Difference between certification and certificate programs
2. What the elements are for certification programs
3. How employers use and value certifications
4. How employees use and value certifications
5. Scrum Alliance certification stack
6. IC Agile Certification stack
7. PMI Agile based certifications
