“Certification is the best way for professionals to distinguish themselves as competent”
Gojko Adzic
Most IT certification programmes are just pyramid scams. They are
designed to sell training and not to provide either the certified
people or the companies hiring them any assurance of competence. Mass
certification that is easy to get loses any value very quickly and
ends up producing exactly the opposite effect for the certified people
after a while - instead of distinguishing themselves they become just
one drop in the sea of incompetence.

To me Scrum is one way of several to manage product development. What possibly attracts me most in Scrum is the possibility to visualise and address problems and limitations. Because of this I have offered Scrum trainings for several years. The last two years Scrum certification trainings have been included in my offering. In doing this I have noted that the certification trainings attract substantially more participants than the non-certification trainings. For good and for worse.
I believe the good parts out weigh the bad parts and my experience is that participants of my training classes bring with them a wish and desire to improve the possibilities to develop better products when they get back home.

After coming second out of over 400 applicants at two different job interviews, just because I wasn’t certified, I decided to take that step, in spite the “paper certification” general feeling. By doing that I discovered that a certification is not about the paper, but about the journey, and a lot of doors opened to me after that.
